Role

Art Director Consultant

Research & Discovery

Länsförsäkringar had a fragmented digital presence across website, mobile app, bank portal, and internal tools. Customers experienced a disjointed brand every time they moved between channels. We needed to understand all touchpoints before proposing a unified system.

Design System Architecture

Built a comprehensive cross-platform design system using Figma, component libraries, and design tokens — covering web, iOS, Android, and internal portals. Collaborated with accessibility specialists Funka throughout to ensure WCAG compliance across all platforms.

Cross-Platform Implementation

Led a 5-week design sprint to generate ideas and prototypes for all major platforms. Then transitioned into an Art Director consultant role to ensure consistent application across all teams. The design system became the long-term foundation for Länsförsäkringar's product development.

Daniel is a skilled Art Director with an eye for detail. He works super fast and comes up with suggestions for new approaches. He maintains a high pace with high quality.

Unified Digital Expression

Every channel — website, app, bank portal, internal tools — needed to speak the same visual language. We built a comprehensive design system with Figma, component libraries, and design tokens that scaled across web, iOS, Android, and internal portals.

Accessibility First

Collaborated with accessibility specialists Funka throughout the entire process. Every component, every interaction pattern was built to WCAG standards from the start — not retrofitted later. This approach meant accessibility was never a bottleneck.
