Low-Res Prototyping: Fast-Forward Your Product Development
I’m currently working on a product redesign for a self-service support desk. Although there are various facets to rebuilding this product (UI improvements, adding and optimizing functionality, user navigation, cross-integrations with other products and content providers – which will all be launched via continuous development) the first priority is creating a new look and feel […]

My experience being a UX-intern at Visma
I was an intern at Visma Labs during a period of 15 weeks, in 2016, as part of my bachelor studies in Interaction Design at Malmö University. During my internship, I took on the project Mobile Expense, evaluating if Visma.net Expense, or parts of it, should be available as a mobile solution.
My experience from my first UX-marathon
The first thing that strikes me is that we are an exciting mix of people and roles. Here are those who work exclusively with user experience design, but also a variety of specialists in product development, sales, support and marketing. To gather skills and ideas from various stakeholders and then make a deep dive in an improvement area for a couple of days is really something you wish you did more often. When everyone has the same agenda – to make it easier for our customers – but with different starting points and mindsets it can be a challenge. But users are different and therefore it’s necessary to find as many different approaches to solutions as possible.

Keeping up motivation and inspiration
As a UX designer I am also interested in good experiences in general, and an interest that is growing stronger is how to create a nice experience at work by trying to make people feel that their work is valuable and that it actually makes a difference, but also that it’s just fun to go to work.

User tests not always a success story
We have done user testing of Visma’s website and we did not reach any overwhelming results. Was this user test a total waste of money and time? No, but it was a costly lesson.
