Projects – Senior UX Designer in Oslo, Norway – Axel Ferdinand Giæver

Tørn

Building materials with a twist

Tørn is a new Norwegian platform designed to offer building materials that would otherwise remain unsold, at a significantly lower price. Are you aware that between 5 and 15 percent of the products in building material stores never find a buyer? This figure is not insignificant, especially considering that the construction sector in Norway has an annual turnover of around 50 billion kroner!

Axel has been an invaluable partner in building Tørn from a scrappy startup to a proper e-commerce site with well thought out solutions to difficult problems. Audun Kvasbo, CTO and founder of Tørn

At tørn.no, building material stores across the country have the opportunity to sell their surplus stock, contributing to a more sustainable and cost-effective construction industry.

Moodgruppen

Unique personalities – identical code

Moodgruppen consists of Mood Communication, Nettrafikk, Moodify og Smood Social – four agencies that together make up Norway's most rad competence center in everything from communication and CRO to SEO and SoMe.

The agencies have brand new websites that share the same code, where we have used theming to distinguish the companies from each other, as well as four completely unique photo series (photographer Kimm Saatvedt) and four different writing styles (copywriter Karl Eirik Haug).

Axel has delivered very well in this process and can be highly recommended. Nils Fredrik Sejersted, CEO at Moodgruppen

Oda

Norway's largest grocery store online

As part of the Customer Experience team in Oda (formerly Kolonial.no), I helped establish a design system for all digital products that meet the end customer – Oda.com, the Android app and the iOS app.

Axel has been central in getting our Design System off the ground and contributing to our first steps toward creating a global product.Julia Tavridou, Digital Design Manager in Oda

Cognita

A simpler everyday life – for everyone

Cognita provides innovative aids for people with cognitive impairment and communication difficulties.

Together with another designer from Dekode, I assisted Cognita with the design of a new interface for managing time and structure for people with cognitive impairment. The new interface was intended to expose the distinction between administration and presentation of content so that everyday life for all users became easier.

Axel has a unique way of getting to the core of the task and solving it. Definitely one of the best designers I've ever worked with.Hilde Falck-Andersen, CEO at Cognita Inc.

Facebook

From consumers to creators

Engineer for the Week (EFTW) aims to spark curiosity for computer science through the creative use of project-based tech experiences, allowing students from all backgrounds to evolve from consumers into creators.

Axel was able to move the needle for our team in a direction that recruited thousands more educators to hear our cause.Joey Raiton, Head of Design, Education Modernization Team at Meta

I assisted the EDMOD team in Facebook along with a development team from Dekode when the program needed a new website.

SoBo Community

Join the treasure hunt!

SoBo Community is a Norwegian startup working to make secondhand and vintage fashion as attractive and available as regular shopping.

As a product owner and design lead, I helped SoBo through the transformation from a startup within clothes rental, to a tailored e-commerce solution in providing exclusive vintage fashion.

Axel grasped our concept and all details quickly, challenged our assumptions in constructive ways and came up with good ideas on how to improve our solution. Anjali Bhatnagar, CEO and founder of SoBo Community

Arbeidsgiverguiden

Find answers to all the hard questions

Arbeidsgiverguiden is designed for managers that receives questions about everything from vacation days and overtime pay to termination and HSE, and often has to answer "I'll come back to you". It's easier than ever for employers to find answers.

Axel is a very nice, fast and skilled UX unicorn who designs with code – it won't be more efficient. Joakim Howlid, Head of innovation, products and services at Hovedorganisasjonen Virke

Together with the product team at Virke, I conduct regular user tests and work continuously to improve and further develop the service.

Norwegian Adventure Company

Explore the North

Norwegian Adventure Company is an adventure and cruise company, specialists in Arctic Northern Norway. They offer unique, stunning, personalised adventures in the far north – the most beautiful place on earth!

Axel guided us through 12 months of focused, structured and demanding efforts to build digital value for the future online. Fredrik Geelmuyden, Adventurer in Norwegian Adventure Company

I assisted Nina and Fredrik in Norwegian Adventure Company with content, design and development of a new website – built with Statamic CMS.

Kløkt

A training program for clearer management

Kløkt is the training program that advances traditional leadership development and elevates leadership training to new heights. With Emil Fabio on graphic design and illustration we have managed to launch a website I am really, really proud of - in less than 20 man-days!

It has been absolutely wonderful to work with Axel from the first meeting to the launch. Tommy Lund Andersen, Partner Inovati

The result is an aesthetic challenger hand-coded in Statamic CMS, with a dynamic course calendar and a Stripe integrated registration form.

In a longer collaboration with the Norwegian Public Roads Administration, I designed the new system of task developers, sensors and test administrators in the Roads Administration to create the tasks that you solve when taking a driver's license. Part of the assignment also involved redesigning the interface you encounter as a candidate when taking the theory exam.

Axel has very good collaboration skills, a good overview, a look for what works and is very effective. Through his good sketches and designs that guide us through the system, we as users feel that the system is intuitive. Karsten Nikolaisen, Senior Advisor in the Norwegian Public Roads Administration
