About me
My name is Patrik Jonsson. I'm training to be a UX/UI designer in Linköping, but I live in Västerås. Before that I worked as a blacksmith and ran my own business in the trade. That taught me that deadlines and quality start with really listening to and understanding what the client needs.
I like the early, messy stages, when nobody knows the answer yet and a sketch on paper says more than ten pages of meeting notes. So I sketch a lot and early, test with real people and rework things until they hold up.
