I am just a girl with ideas

UI/UX Designer & Frontend Developer

What I've designed

Digital experiences for a SaaS platform serving 50+ companies.

The aim was to help users sign back in, understand empty screens, present goals, and learn key workflows.

  • Login experiences

    Designed a remembered-account login for returning users, with the option to switch accounts.

  • Empty states

    Designed empty screens with guidance and next-step actions when no data was available.

  • Present Mode

    Designed a dedicated page for presenting goals and progress directly in the platform.

  • 20 onboarding videos

    Produced 10 tutorials in English and Swedish, using AI voiceovers to explain key workflows.

About

Hey, I’m Carol!

I’m a UX designer who loves figuring things out. I like asking questions, understanding why something isn’t working, and testing different ideas. I love creating designs that are useful, minimal, and, of course, pretty!

Lately, I’ve been especially interested in UX research and data analysis, and how to use real insights to keep improving a design.

AI has become a bit of an addiction. I’ve been experimenting with how it can help with prototyping and design workflows. I even used Claude, ChatGPT, Photoshop, and Figma to experiment with the design and code of this portfolio. It’s still a work in progress, and I’d love to know what you think!

Leaving so soon...?

Show me what those eyes can see.

Roast my portfolio. Gently.

Working style and life outside work

Working Style
I enjoy working with people who share ideas and challenge each other’s thinking. I learn best through collaboration and hands-on experimentation, and I’d love to work with an experienced mentor who can challenge me and help me grow.
Outside of Work
You’ll probably find me making my hobbies unnecessarily complicated. Think elaborate cake decorations, challenging my friends to see who can learn a piano song first (we’re all beginners!), giving solicited interior design advice, planning DIY projects, or going a little overboard with Halloween makeup.
