Henrik's story
Family & friends
Henrik is raised in a wonderful and creative family, surrounded by lovable friends. They mean literally everything to him! He grew up on the countryside in southern Sweden, currently located in a small town called Falkenberg.
Work
Henrik is a front-end developer and multi-disciplinary designer. Web and graphic design led him to front-end development where he has specialised. He's passionate about architecture, structure and accessibility and neat looking websites.
Sports
Sports have always been a big part of Henrik's life. He has tried varies kind, but it's football and golf that figure most for him.
What Henrik does
Shipping code
Creative development
Once he shipped a sailing boat but most often he ships code. Henrik is confident with HTML and CSS. Lately he's learned more JavaScript and explores the JavaScript ecosystem seriously, using React and Gatsby to build static sites, like his own portfolio. Henrik aims to create scalable, fast solutions that are easily maintained in the future.
Accessibility
One of the things Henrik missed the most in his education was web accessibility, something he has had to learn the hard way, and now enjoys. Henrik has implemented accessibility features in projects with strict legal requirements. He has discovered that accessibility, once you learn and understand it, is actually fun!
Design
Web- and graphic design
Henrik started out designing for his childhood football club's website. That planted a seed, as it later inspired him to educate himself in web and graphic design. Henrik looks for clarity and cleanliness in everything he produces. His sources of inspiration come mainly from minimal and clean Scandinavian design, though he tries to be careful not to make things feel bland.
UI/UX design
Henrik is especially fond of designing websites and products. Although he's mainly been a developer in recent years, this is still something he wishes to hold on to and do more of in the future. He is aiming to create functional, engaging interfaces that are easy to interact with.
