About me
Who am I ?
Veronica – UX/UI and multimedia designer
Passionate about user centred design, the creative in general and experiences that matter.
I am a 28-year-old woman from Norway, living in Auckland NZ and a UX Designer. Furthermore, I am the kind of person that loves to be in the background and make something great. My passion is to understand people and find ways to improve their different situations through the power of research, empathising and design thinking. I would love to evolve to become a greater design thinker by learning from others.
I love to make people smile. Because a smile can brighten someone’s day, and that is what we are trying to do in the media and design industry. Make people feel, learn and grow.

Work experience
2022 – 2023
UX/UI designer
Frende Forsikring
– Worked in a team for internal solutions.
– Contributed to develop new concepts, as well as iterate existing solutions with user experience in mind.
– Tested the solutions to ensure both great user experience and accessibility.
– UX responsibilities for further development of Frende design manual and principles.
– Responsible for following the brand identity in the digital solutions.
– The whole team owned the “user experience”. However, UX had the overall responsibility across the teams. UX did therefore have the opportunity to override decisions on a single topic, if the team deviates from the standard.
– All UX designers at Frende worked together to ensure that there was a comprehensive structure and design of the solutions.
