ALWAYS CURIOUS

As you probably are aware of by now, my name is Isak. If not, let me re-introduce myself… (pay attention this time!)

I work on products by day, but unfortunately I’m not a superhero by night (yet!). I’ve been designing and tinkering since around Willinium, but only been good at it the past 6 years.

I’m half Danish & half Somali, which unfortunatly haven’t made me the Viking Pirate I’d hoped for. In January 2014, however, I set sail from my hometown of Aarhus, and invaded England, and set up camp in the way too ‘trendy’ Shoreditch, East London.

The pillaging awaits, though.

HOLISTIC PROBLEM SOLVER

I try to understand problems (or “opportunities”, if you’re an optimist), business, context, and people, while sketching, prototyping and asking my way to an ever-evolving solution.

My multi-coloured background and experience in computer science, product design and innovation processes, designing and building things since Macromedia Flash and Photoshop 5.5, has made me a swiss-army design knife/scissor/nail clipper…

Some call this UX, others full-stack design, while a few don’t give a crap what it’s called. For me this means I use words like ‘holistic’ and ‘contextual’… a lot!

WORKING WITH COOL FOLKS

Currently I work as Product Director at Airbeem where I do a bit of design, management and product development, but mostly just drink coffee and put on my “thinking face“.

Previously W12 Studios, Zone, BBC, IT Minds, etc.

Here’s a few folks I’ve had the pleasure working with so far, neatly layed out in monochrome:
