Part 13 of 13 in the series Some of my skills.
All adults know that dragons giggle when they are tickled. But many kids have not found that out yet. So we in the Bolibompa team set out to build a digital dragon who kids relate to and whom they want to tickle! A Ticklish Mission.
Design research: How we 3 to 5 year olds behave

Part 11 of 13 in the series Some of my skills.
My colleagues wanted to change the look and content of an important part of Barnplay.se. I thought the current one was better and set out to check whether their or my variant resulted in more taps and views. Via an A/B test they proved me wrong (which I love).
Interaction design: The date range picker
Part 6 of 13 in the series Some of my skills.
Unfortunately the standard browser interface for choosing dates is really confusing. To reduce the effort of using some Springer Nature forms, I needed to create a custom date range picker. A British solution
Interaction design: SVT Barn Play
Part 2 of 13 in the series Some of my skills.
Re-imagine online video watching to dramatically increase number of minutes viewed. That was the mission Malin, product manager for SVT Kids Online, gave my team in 2012.

Foundations for better restaurant sites
Part 8 of 8 in the series Deliverables.
To design better restaurant sites I interviewed six persons. From the discussions I got eight insights. Among them are that sites are used by newbies and regulars, that reviews are super valuable, that we want to imagine the restaurant visit before it happens, and more. The insights can help when building new sites/apps or evaluating existing ones. 8 things the site needs to enable

Artist powered stories, no bots allowed
Me and Gerhard want to use Whatsapp, Kik, Snapchat, Line or some other chat app to tell you stories about art that we have created. But we also want to get to know you. We are not robots.
A guided exploration of WhiteWall.com
Part 6 of 8 in the series Deliverables.
On Bernies iPad we failed to order a print from WhiteWall.com. On my Mac it went quite smoothly and we appreciated the good overview that we had throughout the process. With some further developments, WhiteWall will get Bernies top score. Listen to our experience of the site.
A lack of flow at the Kantine
Some places are difficult to feel affection for, despite me desperately wanting to fall in love. Chipperfield Kantine is one such place. It's a problem of layout.
A better blog with Series’ and Collections
My blog suffered from not having an easy way of grouping posts about the same topic. I solved that by build functionality to represent Series'. The blog software did not give me the possibility of giving more valuable posts more focus. Collections are my reply to that challenge. Together they make my blog more fun to play with, and more expressive. What I built to make it better.

Strategist, inclusion, Scrum and more.
