Who is she?

Kajsa Unge

Frontend developer | UI & graphic designer | Illustrator

I'm a Stockholm-based designer and frontend developer with a passion for creating user-centric digital experiences. With over 15 years in the creative industry, my journey has taken me from graphic design and illustration to UI/UX design and frontend development. This diverse background allows me to approach projects holistically, bridging the gap between aesthetics and functionality.

My work is driven by curiosity and a desire to craft solutions that resonate with users. Whether sketching initial concepts or coding interactive interfaces, I thrive on the entire creative process. Collaboration is at the heart of my approach, and I value the insights that come from working closely with clients and cross-functional teams.

Beyond the screen, I'm an advocate for continuous learning and often find inspiration in the arts, nature, and everyday interactions. This balance keeps my perspectives fresh and fuels my creativity.
