Product designer · Södermalm, Stockholm

Taking on new work from autumn 2025

Calm design for money & health.

Eight years designing fintech and health apps that first-time savers and older patients can trust — from the first flow to the shipped design system.

Trust is a design material.

Mara designs savings, invoicing and rehab apps for people who are careful with their money and their health. Plain language, clear flows, accessible from the first sketch.

Kronan began as a brief about savings and ended as a plain-language path from first deposit to first goal. I take a product from the question behind it to the UI that ships.

Strategy to shipped UI

Ledger Lite and Vårdkoll run on one shared set of components, tokens and written rules, so a team can keep building after I have left.

Pulsa is used by cardiac patients in their seventies. Every flow is built to WCAG, tested with older patients and first-time savers, and written for people under stress.

From autumn 2025

I design in a Södermalm studio where the winter sun crosses the desk at two in the afternoon. For eight years I have made savings and health apps for people who are nervous about both. I work in Swedish and English, remotely across CET, and I am taking on new work from autumn 2025.
