Like my writing? Like books? Yes, yes? Then it's your lucky day, friend 😄

I'm writing a book on soft skills to excel your career in the UX industry and you can sign up on my website to stay informed about launch date.



Ok, with that out of the way, let's talk about Martin. That's my name. I've got a Masters in interaction design that I got from Umeå University in Sweden, which is also where I'm born and raised.

UX and design have been my sole career since 2007. I know very few things outside this realm, but I do enjoy moving my body in various ways so I guess I'm ok with that too. I think we need to rethink the roles in product development, especially anything with UX in the title. This has been my crusade for some time.

I also think the way most companies do performance reviews and incentives needs to be reimagined to a format that actually inspires and is worth everyone's time. I have a feeling this might be my next crusade.

A few other things I'm into are watches, photography, dogs, writing, kitesurfing, whiskey and rum and a wide variety of music genres.

I have websites for my design work, my watch brand and kitesurf trips.
