My name is Magnus Henry.

I’m a UX/UI Designer in the making, currently studying at IT-Högskolan Göteborg.

Born and raised on the Swedish west coast, I've dipped my feet in both train engineering, BBQing, blackjack dealing and cash transporting before finding my passion in the world of tech and UX Design. I believe the key to a great design lies in observing the connection between the user and technology, how clear it is, and how to make it even clearer.

  • Coming from a long career of jobs where everything was black or white, I've come to appreciate UX design for the creative spark it brings with it, as well as the possibility to be part of a business that's evolving every day is an exciting prospect.

    I thoroughly enjoy watching the user interact with systems in a million different ways, and depending on the setting and who’s in control, there's also a million different results. And the sense of achivement you get when you realize that you've created something that makes the users everyday life a little bit easier goes a long way.

  • I'm never afraid of taking on a challenge when it comes to new tech. Ever since I was a little kid and dismantled the family VHS cassette recorder (while it was plugged in, and I managed not to electrocute myself, YAY) I've always had a fascination for technology and learning everything about it.

    If there's a job to be done with tools I don't know how to use, the first thing I do is analyzing the tools and finding the most effective way to solving said job with said tools.

  • I mainly work with all things UX-esque in Figma, but I’m also comfortable working in many of the Adobe programs, such as Illustrator, Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere Pro. I am always open to learning new software and adapting to it if necessary. The world of tech is constantly evolving; thus its users should too!

  • Being an adrenaline junkie I am pretty into different types of board sports, primarily longboarding but I've dabbled both with snow and water if you catch my drift. Just don't ask me to do a kickflip.

    Apart from that I'm an avid gamer and fan of everything geeky. Being a father of three I am doing my best to initiate the small ones into my nerdy hobbies. Just waiting for the day I can get my oldest kid to watch Star Wars for the first time.
