Samples of my work
Web Design and Development projects
These are ongoing and finished web design projects that I am or have been involved in.
VODIA
Project that I have done as a part of my master thesis for Volvo Penta and the one I am most proud of. My task was to investigate how a PC based UI of the Volvo Penta engine diagnostic tool (VODIA) could be designed while addressing known usability issues present in the current tool. I conducted the user requirements research and presented an interaction- and GUI definition for the C# based prototype which was evaluated through user tests. As a methodology I used Goal Directed Design (Alan Cooper et al.) with elements of Rational Unified Process (RUP). Graded as "core business", insights and results of this research will be used in the future PC VODIA application.
Nova - Interaction Design and children
The project was done in collaboration with Sahlgrenska University Hospital and Queen Silvia Children's Hospital. With Nova we aimed to improve the quality of life for long term child patients in hospital through usage of IT by making literature and other media types an integrated part of the rehabilitation process. Nova was exhibited at the Gothenburg International Science Festival 2006.

Newmad Technologies UCD practices
Implementing User Centred Design methodologies in the work process of a small company with a limited amount of resources. This project done as a part of User Centred Design course during MA studies. Newmad Technologies agreed that we could take a look at their software developement process and suggest improvements.
Search Interface
Task: To come up with design for the bug reporting system with a complex search interface. The requirements were such that users should be able to know how to use the system instantly or if needed after a brief demonstration taking no longer then 2 minutes.
Dragons Gold
Dragon's Gold is a board game by Bruno Faidutti. It is also known under the name
Drachengold. It's a negotiation game with a fantasy theme; players use their cards to kill dragons and then
negotiate about how the dragon's treasure should be divided.
Task: To turn the board game “Dragon's Gold” into an online version, thus making a screen-based GUI to it.
Pizza Express restaurant
Task was to come up with a concept; an idea for an application
suited for a certain user group and situation of use. This application had to
have a graphic user interface of some kind and one of the following demands:
- Usage of text was not allowed.
- Usage of mouse and keyboard as input devices was not allowed either
