About – GABRIEL UGGLA

I am a Swedish UX designer passionate about bringing the user’s voice into brands, services and products. As a born and raised Scandinavian I strive to create simple and thoughtful product experiences for all people. My work usually lives in the intersection of industrial and interaction design, with the user experience at the core.

Over the years I have been fortunate to live and work in Sweden, Austria, The Netherlands, California and Germany — experiencing inspiring people, places, cuisine and design. Along the way I have also been honored to have some of my work published online and in print, exhibited and awarded.
