Prototyping | Retrotips Stockholm

Keywords: Prototyping, Adobe XD, UI

For this project, I designed prototypes for a retro-themed travel guide to Stockholm, focusing on retro boutiques and shops. The goal was to create an attractive and engaging guide to help draw tourists to the city. To do this, I brainstormed ideas, created sitemaps and wireframes, and developed interactive high-fidelity prototypes. Through this process, I was able to bring my vision to life and create a guide that would appeal to travelers looking for a unique and nostalgicically chic experience in Stockholm.

Recycling habits - visualisation

Keywords: Prototyping, User Research, Evaluations, Accessibility

(2020-2021) As part of my thesis research, I developed a visualization prototype that investigates the topic of recycling habits and how they can be improved. One of the most fascinating aspects of this project was exploring people's intuitive choices when it comes to recycling and finding ways to create a digital solution that supports and enhances those choices. The goal of this research was to not only understand the motivations behind recycling habits, but also to identify ways to encourage more sustainable behavior and make a positive impact on the environment. It was a unique and rewarding project that allowed me to combine my interests in design and sustainability in a meaningful way.

The study aimed to understand why Swedish households mis-sort recyclables and design new waste management processes to change habits. It found motivation, knowledge gaps, and priorities as key factors. Workshops led to a proposed tool to improve recycling habits. Intuitive sorting was identified as a main cause of mis-sorting. The designed prototype aims to automate sorting and provide feedback on household contributions to recycling.

Prototype | Trackonia

Keywords: Prototyping, User Research, Accessibility

(2018) As part of a project in 2018, I developed an interactive simulation prototype for ultra runners using the prototyping tool Axure. Through this process, I gained my first experience in creating lo-fi to hi-fi prototypes and testing them on users to gather valuable feedback. In addition to the technical aspects of the project, I also had the opportunity to design the graphic profile and logo for the app. Overall, it was a challenging but rewarding project that sparked my first interest in interaction design.

Branding | Spiffing Guppies

Keywords: Branding, Adobe Illustrator, Logotype

(2021) I had the pleasure of creating a totally rad brand for the one and only Spiffing Guppies, the greatest (made up) indie pop band to grace the earth. From the logo to the poster, shirt, and CD cover, I poured my heart and soul into every pixel and brush stroke to bring some serious style to this (imaginary) band. It was a wild and wacky journey, and I can't wait to see where the Spiffing Guppies go next.

saradigne.se

Keywords: HTML, CSS, JS

My favorite part of web development is definitely the front-end - it's where all the magic happens (or at least, where I get to make everything look pretty). I code in HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, and I used those skills to build this portfolio site in my spare time. Don't let the simple design fool you - it's all HTML and CSS magic under the hood.

(2018) While serving on the youth council Södermalms ungdomsråd, I designed a logo and developed a website for the organization.

Flyttfågel.se

Keywords: Brand Identity, Coding, Designing

(2020) For this project, I set out to create a brand concept that could answer some burning questions, like: 1) What makes a brand feel cohesive and consistent? 2) How can we apply these principles to design materials and a platform that caters to our fictitious target group of "migratory birds"? It was a tall order, but I was up for the challenge. And let's be real, who doesn't love a good imaginary bird-themed project?

Dumpster Dive

Keywords: AR, Unity, Interactive

(2019) I worked in a team of three people to illustrate the pressing issue of ocean pollution in a game. Our goal was to create a game that would not only be fun to play, but also educate players about the impacts of pollution on our oceans. The design process was a journey of trial and error, complete with several user tests to ensure that our game was both entertaining and informative. #savetheoceans #gameon

It was a challenging but rewarding project that allowed me to develop my creative skills and explore the potential of digital storytelling.

(2017) In 2017, I had the chance to work on a short documentary that examined the theme of urban city planning from a feminist perspective, all set against the backdrop of vibrant and bustling Mumbai. The film explored the ways in which cities are designed and how those design decisions can impact the lives of women and other marginalized communities. It was a powerful and eye-opening project that allowed me to delve into important social and political issues, and experience the unique culture and energy of Mumbai firsthand.
