Designing thoughtful digital experiences for real-world needs.

I turn research and complex problems into clear, inclusive products through collaboration, prototyping, testing, and technical understanding.

About me

Curious about people, systems, and how ideas become useful.

Magnus Hugubakken
UX designer, researcher, and enthusiastic home cook.

I'm Magnus, a UX designer and developer who connects user insight, business needs, and technical feasibility.

I work across the design process: learning from users, framing opportunities, developing concepts, creating interactions, and testing ideas in practice. Good design starts with listening, so workshops, interviews, and observation are central to how I uncover what matters.

I enjoy collaborative and agile environments where ideas can grow through prototyping and iteration. Accessibility, inclusion, and value for both users and organizations guide the decisions I make.

Away from design, I explore the same hands-on creativity in the kitchen. My food experiments live at @mangebangersmat .
