ABOUT
Gabriel Uggla is a Swedish UX designer creating delightful visuals, services and products at NoA Ignite in Oslo, Norway.
As a born and raised Scandinavian, Gabriel strives to design simple, thoughtful, and beautiful experiences for everyone. His work often lives at the intersection of physical and digital design, with a holistic user experience and solid strategy above all. Gabriel has built experiences for a wide range of platforms, including consumer electronics, mobile apps, web, wearables, bicycles, and cars. He has experience working with everything from promising start-ups, to established SMEs, to world-leading Fortune 100’s —all across more than 60 professional projects for 40+ clients.
In his career Gabriel has been fortunate to live and work in Sweden, Austria, The Netherlands, California, Germany, and currently Norway —allowing him to experience lots of inspiring people, places, brands and design. Along the way he has also been honored to have his work published on the front page of Time Magazine, exhibited, and awarded by the likes of IxDA and iF.
When not designing, Gabriel usually plays with his son, practices photography, rides his bicycle, or creates yet another Spotify playlist.
