- Product Design: I help identify and solve the real problems your users face. Whether you're struggling with low engagement, confusing user flows, or a product that doesn't quite meet market needs, I dig deep into user pain points to design solutions that actually work. From ground-up product strategy to fixing specific friction points that are hurting your metrics.
- Front-end Development: I can turn the design into a pixel perfect product. Being able to design and develop allows me to move at speeds otherwise impossible by cutting a lot of the steps otherwise needed.
I take my work very seriously and put a lot of work into excellent communication, proper planning, and last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

About: I'm a design engineer with over 15 years of experience taking products from 0 to 1. I work across the full stack, from design systems and frontend to backend and infrastructure. I've shipped products across AI, FinTech, media, insurance, and health. Most recently I led a product redesign across an AI suite at Miðeind. Before that I was Technical Design Lead at JPMorgan Chase, working on property management and cashflow analysis tools. I also designed and built the redesign for RÚV, Iceland's national broadcaster and the 6th most popular website in the country. I've built and sold my own products too: Baseline (https://baseline.is), a digital asset management tool, used to manage over 19,000 brand guides created, and Norde (https://norde.is), an icon manager. I love working on complex products with good teams. I pick up new tech easily and care about clear communication and doing things properly.
