Internship at Stendahls
During my six months at Stendahls, I've had the opportunity to work on a range of projects, from building design systems and concepts from scratch to refining and adapting complex systems for large companies. ☺
What have I learned?
I’ve learned to navigate complex design systems, structure workflows, and adapt to rapid changes. Hands-on experience has strengthened my ability to present and justify design decisions, collaborate with developers, and manage deadlines. I’ve also deepened my understanding of Figma, iterative design, and the balance between creativity and practical constraints. Additionally, I’ve gained insight into my role as a digital designer within a team, honing my collaboration and problem-solving skills in a professional setting.
One of my key projects was the redesign of a company’s website with an emphasis on employer branding. My main responsibility was to establish a structured design system based on atomic design principles, ensuring its longevity beyond the project. This, combined with the creative process of developing design concepts, gave me valuable insight into how a design process unfolds in a professional setting.
I’m unable to share the projects I’ve worked on yet, as they haven’t gone live.

E-commerce product page
A fictional project conducted during a one-week workshop at Grebbans, where our group was tasked with creating an e-commerce product page for the fictional brand Echo Studios. The assignment had a strong focus on UX, with the data points provided. Our task was to develop a brand identity, rearrange and add data points, justify every design decision, and not remove any data points. The workshop culminated in a persuasive pitch.
Background
The problem we aimed to solve was creating a UX-focused product page that was both familiar and easy to navigate for the customer. At the same time, we were encouraged to think outside the box and innovate. Additionally, we needed to establish a visual identity for the brand Echo Studios.
Solution
Our solution was a mobile-view product page featuring a scrolling banner with USP details, product cards, prices, sizes, stock markers, product info in an accordion format, related products, and a footer. We branded Echo Studios as "sporty, exclusive, edgy." The color palette was minimalistic (black, white, grey), with the exception of our CTA color, "Tennis Green." We reflected our brand values in the choice of typography, icons, and layout.
My role in the team
I took the lead in developing the brand identity and creating a prototype with variables in Figma. Given the short project duration, collaboration was crucial. We spent considerable time on market analysis, as balancing customer recognition with innovative, edgy design was essential. We tested all colors for WCAG compliance and created components for every part of the prototype.

Film titles
How can I create film titles that are prominent enough to be interesting, without stealing attention from the film?
Background
As part of a school project, I created a proposal for the film titles of the short film Cows, produced by Bacon Pictures. The question I explored was: How can I create film titles that are prominent enough to be interesting, without stealing attention from the film?
Solution
I aimed to evoke an academic tone for the film by employing the traditional serif font Cormorant. To introduce contrast, I opted for the bold sans-serif font ACIER BAT. The producers sought a blend of tradition and intrigue.
The final result included the design of the film titles — both typography and layout — as well as animation, showing how the titles behave on screen.

With a background in filmmaking, I find it thrilling to incorporate movement into my designs. I believe in the power of motion to emphasize key features and draw attention effectively.
