Asbjørn Mejlvang

Go'daw

Hi! I'm Asbjørn. I hold a bachelor's degree in Industrial Design and a master's degree in designing Interactions. My design journey has covered a range of projects, from dental equitment and golf gadgets to electric speed boats and adult diapers. I've also worked on production-on-demand furniture. However, my focus shifted to the digital realm.

Currently, I devote most of my time helping people tackle their UX problems and constructing an in-house design system.

As a designer, I see one of my key responsibilities as bringing the non-existent to life. I enjoy transforming loose ideas into tangible concepts for groups of people, fostering evaluation and discussion. Design, to me, is a team sport.

Intrests

Creative tools

Discovering new creative tools as they emerge. The choice of tools have a tendency to affect the visual outcomes for designers. It's crucial to be adept with various tools and not limit creativity to a single one.

Design Systems

Investigating how the integration of systematic UI principles with a culture of systems thinking can enhance UX at scale, particularly for large corporations.

Code as material

Delving into the primary material of digital design to facilitate more effective communication with developers and unlock the creative possibilities of working with code.
