Hej. My name is Damon Carlstrom

A seasoned Product Designer navigating the digital seas from my remote workspace. With over a decade in the field, I specialize in transforming complex challenges into simple, intuitive solutions that delight both users and businesses.

Over the past 11 years, my product design journey has navigated varied landscapes, from the specialized world of enterprise software to the dynamic realms of B2B and B2C SaaS markets. My extensive experience in these different sectors is complemented by an ever-evolving creative edge. Always ready to explore new horizons, I've recently been delving into AI-driven design tools and AI-assisted design workflows.

When it comes to 'T-Shaped' expertise, I bring both breadth and depth across various design methodologies and leadership paradigms. Proficient in both design-thinking and systems-thinking, I excel at distilling complex problems down to simple, inuititve solutions.

While not my main focus, I've also spent professional time in other areas such as front-end development, research & analysis, and 3D motion graphics and animation. This diverse skill set has not only enabled me to adapt and contribute effectively in various roles but has also been genuinely enjoyable to continue learning new tools and skills.

In short, I thrive on solving complex problems and embracing new learning curves—two passions that make every project an adventure worth having.
