Hampus Svallfors
Senior Digital Designer
Palo Alto, CA

Hey 👋

With over 13 years of design experience working with businesses across various industries and stages of growth, I have helped 45 companies in product, consultancy, and agency roles with their business goals.

Since 2020, I lead a remote product design team at Timely. Formerly, I’ve worked at award-winning Metalab.

My design approach is adaptable and results-oriented, and prioritizes the success of my team and the business as a whole. I don't seek personal recognition and I am satisfied with the work avoided as much as the work shipped.

When in a leading role, I strive to develop an effective team based on trust, belonging and shared responsibility. I’m often appreciated for my big-picture perspective, my contagious energy, and for candidly arguing with upper management on my team’s behalf. I’m also known for throwing kick-ass workshops.

From northern Sweden, I currently live in Palo Alto, CA. Outside of work, I enjoy beach time with my Labrador, eating perfect halloumi with my wife, carving kitchen utensils in green wood, and whale watching during sunrise.

Thanks for checking in, I hope you’ll have a great day!

1. Interface design
Delightful and efficient designs systems

Beauty has an important role to play in design, even if we often hear that utility is the primary concern. I emphasize a balance between delightful design that surprises and engages with clarity and purpose, with repeatable and easily workable systems that are well anchored with the engineering teams responsible for bringing the design to life.

2. Concept development
Quick and cheap methods to align and validate

I design high-level concepts and prototypes to inexpensively pinpointing and refining ideas with strong market appeal, technical feasibility, and a robust business case.

3. User research
Relevant insights from all stakeholders

Research is a key part of my design process, and I am proficient in using a variety of methods including desk research, interviews, surveys, and user testing to gather insights from all stakeholders. My data analysis and presentation methods are designed to be inclusive and accessible, allowing everyone to participate in the process.

4. Team lead
Leading high-performance teams with focus on growth

My training in team development allows me to effectively bring new groups together by focusing on key fundamentals such as trust, inclusion, ownership, and effective feedback. I strive to understand individual team member's needs and strengths. Regular retros and feedback sessions ensure individual growth, while skill-sharing and presentations help to elevate the entire team's capabilities. As a product leader, I coordinate our direction with steering committees and other teams and ensure alignment on strategy and execution.

5. Facilitation
Helping everyone work together to reach their best

I specialize in facilitating meetings and workshops that enable groups to tap into their collective potential and achieve their objectives. My approach is centered on creating a collaborative environment where all voices are heard, and I use various techniques to facilitate productive conversations and goal-setting that lead to concrete outcomes.

We also tend to have a lot of fun!

Until next time 👋
