Weber Connect

Background

A companion app for BBQ enthusiasts that, paired with a smart thermometer, monitors food and grill status. I collaborated closely with engineers and R&D to design guided cooking features, an inspiration hub (recipes, guides), and upsell moments. I also led the design system across Android, iOS, and WatchOS.

About

Originally from Sweden, I’ve spent most of my life abroad. As a kid obsessed with creating electronic music on my computer I quickly found a passion in digital design. Today I have a specialization in digital products and web experiences. For 8+ years I have worked in various agencies, big and small. Today I work in a integrated product team at OpenUp, crafting intuitive mental well-being tools that make psychological support easy, affordable and accessible.

I thrive in highly collaborative & ambitious teams with a high sense of trust, accountability and a common purpose. Aside from being a designer with a focus on craft, I have a passion for mentoring and leadership with years of experience in guiding young designers.
