Experience
Founder, Photographer & Product Designer
CurrentJakob Dahlin
I run a multidisciplinary business under my own name where I work end-to-end across every branch of both digital product development and photography. That includes everything from finance, marketing, and client management to UX, engineering, branding, and content. Whether I'm building software or photographing buildings, I handle every part of the process myself—from concept to execution.
Product Designer & UX Engineer
I design and build responsive, accessible websites and digital products that combine clean UX with strong visual design. My background in architectural photography sharpens my focus on structure, layout, and hierarchy. I work across all product functions—design, research, product management, engineering, and content design—to create functional and scalable experiences.
