Arslan freelance product designer

I recently shipped the first version of a Security Hub for Swedbank, which earned them the Best Information Security & Fraud (Western Europe) award at the 2024 Global Finance Digital Bank Awards.

During 2022-2023, I collaborated with Kvanta and Holistikah to launch their platforms.

Currently, I’m advising on UX and product strategy for my investments in Bryohm and SkillGround, while working part-time with MAIA Universe to bring their platform to market.

Busy? Yes. But I’m always excited to connect with great people. If I’m unavailable, I’d be happy to refer you to talented professionals in my network.

Sara Larsson

CEO, Freshsound

During his time with us, he did not only coach me and the rest of the team in design principles, but also led with a team-first and inclusive mindset. It is critical for a startup (or any company for that matter) to have individuals on the team who take responsibility, roll up their sleeves and get things done while bringing the rest of the team along for the ride.

Service Design & Design Research Team Lead, Swedbank

I found working with Arslan extremely fun, he was not just a great ballpark but better still - the best of sparring partners. Collaboration was a blast!

As a designer he is well founded in the basic principles of design - the feasible, viable & desirable framework and applying data to decision-making. He is comfortable applying and performing qualitative design research as well as understanding and analysing quant data, such as analytics, surveys and other quantitative user research methods.

Product Owner Enabling Tech, Swedbank

Arslan was part of a product team that shaped the first-ever individualised security hub for end-users across the banking sector in the Nordic market. What was once a black box - How can we create a user experience that exceeds users’ expectations from this feature? - was transformed into a seamless user flow.
