Simon Ljungblahd
I’m a 26 year old Swedish interaction designer and prototyper that mainly focuses on investigating novel interfaces. Perhaps my biggest strength is my ability to quickly prototype experiences and wrap my head around chaotic topics. I use whatever tool that helps me gather understanding quickest, wether it being cardboard models, digital mockups, 2D/3D animations or code.
I started my adult life back in 2018 studying design engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, but decided to switch path into an even more design focused program. I started my bachelor in Industrial Design at Umeå Institute of Design in 2020 where I later also enrolled in the Master’s program of Interaction Design. During my years studying I’ve been taking breaks to get other experiences as well.
My first professional experience was at the Volkswagen Group Future Center Europe as a UX design intern where I first got to see how designer can function within a larger organization. I later joined Above Agency as an experience design intern where I improved my ability to push for better design, both to team members and the brands we did work for. In parallel to this I co-founded PX-Lab where I mainly focus on pushing R&D, brand and values forward. There I learned about EE, ME, suppliers communication, material design, manufacturing processes, marketing, brand, legalities and so forth.
