Open for new engagements
Hey, call me Triple A
Product designer. CPO. Ex-founder. I make complicated things simple.
Ask the founders, the VCs, or the 250,000+ users who just wanted a good app.
Open for new engagements
Product and design clarity, on demand.
I'm currently taking on a small number of short, high-impact engagements: the kind where you need someone to come in, make sense of the chaos, and leave you with a pitch deck that lands, a product or app redesign, or a roadmap your team can rally behind. Usually a few months, not a few years, and I'm just as comfortable in a room with VCs and PE investors as with your engineers and designers. Based in Stockholm, also open for remote opportunities.
About
Recovering music producer turned product & design leader
A founder. A first design hire. A team lead at a €100B private equity firm. Now a CPO. Along the way, I co-founded Plick — now the biggest place in Sweden to sell your old jeans, acquired by Schibsted — was the first design hire at a company that scaled to a million users (BookBeat), and built AI tools VCs use to bet on the next unicorn (EQT Motherbrain). Four very different challenges, one constant: give me a fuzzy vision, a complicated product, a misaligned team, or a pitch that isn't landing, and I'll turn it into something people want to get behind.
That was a lot of jargony mumbo jumbo. Let's cleanse ourselves with a keepsake from my days as a music producer: Listen on Spotify

Places I've worked (and done a decent job)
Design & Product Lead
2023
-
Now
IMR is a B2B company providing proactive health services focused on creating more sustainable employees in the private sector. I lead development of our digital product suite, launching strategic initiatives and driving new innovation to make our product more loveable, impactful and profitable.
Design Lead & Team Lead

2023
EQT is one of the worlds largest private equity firms where I worked with design and product development for Motherbrain, an in-house platform leveraging big data and AI to transform the way investments were made within VC and PE. I was leading the design team, with a few direct reports, as well as a cross-functional product team in shipping several flagship features and scaling Motherbrain to new business lines.
Senior Product Designer
2016
-
2020
I was an early employee and the first product designer at BookBeat, a B2C audiobook streaming service, where I was in charge of UI & UX for BookBeat's mobile app. During these years I was part of developing and shipping many of the core features that made BookBeat the standout app on the audiobook market, propelling it to grow from a few thousand to 250 000 paying users (now >1 million, yikes!). App Store raising soared to 4.6/5 with thousands of positive user reviews, trial conversions increased by 40%, retention increased by 25% and frequency of use rose 24%.
Product Designer
2014
-
2016
I worked on UI & UX for B2C streaming brands C More and TV4 Play within Bonnier, shaping the end user experience on mobile, desktop and big screen.
Founding Designer
2013
Part of the founding team at Plick, a peer-to-peer marketplace app for pre-loved fashion (second hand and vintage clothing). I was part of designing and developing the initial version of the mobile app and raising a crowdfunded seed round. At first the company didn't take off, but became a late bloomer with an emerging youth user base and is now the biggest niche marketplace in Sweden, acquired by Schibsted.
Skillset
My recipe for results
Design is problem solving
With a full-stack product designer toolkit, my process spans from problem -> insight -> solution -> implementation. I lead my team and stakeholders to build better outcomes.
The power of storytelling
I'm great at turning complexity into simplicity. I'll craft inspiring visions, engage people with effective and fun storytelling to get buy-in and create alignment.
Focus on business impact
The right things to pursue is what makes sense for both our users and our business. I'm strategic in my decision making, understanding how design details connects to business goals.
Testimonials
Can't believe they said that
Technically, they can all be wrong. But what are the odds?
Anton possesses a remarkable attention to design details that sets him apart in the industry. His comprehensive understanding of business, paired with his ability to bring insightful perspectives- along with his energy, humor, and expertise, makes him a valuable contributor not only to teams and projects but also to the overall success of a company.
Charlotte Berg
Director @ Kyndryl (Ex-CEO @ IMR)
We worked together on building Motherbrain at EQT. As a lead designer, Anton was particularly strong in combining creativity with UX and engineering skills. He lead both engineers and designers in ideation and building. I loved working with Anton and appreciated our shared values and the way we both cared for the product we were building.
Elin Bäcklund

Anton was my design manager at Motherbrain. As a leader, he consistently provided concrete and pragmatic design feedback and inspiration whenever I asked. I always felt supported by him, knowing he had my back. Despite being a consultant at the time, I felt Anton genuinely cared about my career development and was always willing to offer valuable guidance.

In case you wonder
The important questions no one ever asks
Are you a baller, for real?
Do I know you from that podcast?
Did you really build an app for your family to keep track of the clothes in your attic?
Who influenced you the most growing up?
Tired of the nonsense and want to get down to brass tacks?
