About me

A dashing picture of Rasmus.

Hi, I'm Rasmus Bugge Skammelsen

Digital designer passionate about innovation, function and accessibility

I am a (currently) Copenhagen-based user experience designer, with a keen eye for details and interactions and with a passion for creating with people, for people. I am experienced in designing purposeful, aesthetic products that make a meaningful difference for people without minizing usability.

I have experience in both design, programming and business analysis, making me an effective communicator between team functions leading to more efficient implementation and better results. I am a big proponent of communication with both the team behind products and the users who will use them.

I am an avid learner and a yes-man (sometimes to a fault), always striving to explore something new and outside of my comfort zone, taking tasks that I might not yet be comfortable in. While I love being able to work on something in-depth, I am also extremely interested a changing environment as a way to gain perspective and new experiences - but professionally and personally.

Designing purposeful, aesthetic products that make a difference for people without minimizing usability.

Experience

UX/UI Designer at Danske Bank

2021 to 2023

Tasks

I performed tasks within my field such as process mapping, design and testing, as well as planning and refining epics as a business analyst.

Learnings

Good design requires an understanding of the underlying implementation. Sometimes you have to fight for user involvement.

Design internships

2020 to 2021

Tasks

Designed and developed website and solutions for start-ups as well as updating the visual style and information architecture.

Learnings

Working professionally is both faster and less rigid than academics, meaning that there often aren't resources to 'follow the rules'.

Medialogy master at AAU

2015 to 2020

Tasks

I demonstrably used programming, research and design knowledge to create complicated software for healthcare and entertainment.

Learnings

I became a research-informed designer, and gave me the cross-disciplinary edge of practicably communicating outside my field.

Emphatic

With my background in all parts of product development pipeline I can mediate my knowledge to anyone depending on context.

I can ensure swift and strong teamwork that translates into a coherent and satisfying development and product.

Research

I always see people as collaborators and not just users. The people that are going to use the product are the experts and always provide great insides when collaborating.

I can apply various user research methods depending on context to acquire useful knowledge to inform design decisions that both I and the clients are happy with.

Creator

Functionality is important, but the product most also be accessible! It is equally important that people can and want to engage with the product.

I create intuive and creative designs that are aesthetically and interactively pleasing and easy to use.

Iterative

Designing is never complete. I am always willing to improve my designs through testing and discarding features and functionality that didn't work.

I am experienced in using both lo-fi and hi-fi prototypes to get insights into design improvements effeciently.
