Vegard Bjørlykke

Senior Designer

Oslo, Norway
Hello, I´m Vegard.

I am a Scandinavian, digitally–focused designer with a degree in Industrial Design from the UK.
I have over 15 years of work experience in designing award–winning user experiences for leading Scandinavian and international brands online.

I have a comprehensive understanding of the design process and like to focus on both the big picture and the details.

My strengths are creative thinking, problem solving and aesthetics.

I can play a role in for example design management, design research, analysis, concept development, information architecture, interaction design and visual design. And I am not shy of new responsibilities.

I am always looking for a serious challenge which has the potensial to change the way we live our lives and do things.

No problem too big, no detail too small.
