A little somethingABOUT 
ME

My name is Amelie Christiansen. I’m a designer with a background in cognitive science, and I am currently based in LinköpingSweden.

I enjoy all aspects of the design process, and am equally at place in a micro-level work (such as designing and prototyping individual flows) as a macro-level work (such as discussing product vision and strategy). And while environmental sustainabiliy is an important theme for me (as seen through my projects), getting wiser has also meant realising that there are many other areas where I can do meaningful, and impactful work, which I'm looking forward to exploring.

Apart from working, I enjoy watching musicals, collecting retro hand-me-downs, creating art prints that subtly allude to my favorite tv-shows and movies, and applying design strategies to solve everyday pain points for friends and family.
