About
I'm Anders Hojmose, an experienced design leader with over 15 years of expertise crafting and delivering digital experiences that seamlessly blend user needs, technology, and business objectives.
My work is driven by a deep commitment to elevating the design discipline and the teams I work with. Guided by empathy, integrity, and trust, I prioritize fostering growth within my teams, building effective strategic partnerships, and encouraging cross-discipline collaborations.
I have extensive experience in human-centered design processes, DesignOps, and Design Systems, and my coding skills enable me to leverage modern front-end frameworks, generative AI, and large data sets. Naturally curious, I'm profoundly interested in how design can enable meaningful application of AI and how it, in turn, is reshaping design practices and product development.
Currently located in Zurich, Switzerland, I am the Design Director at EF EdTech, leading the end-to-end design process of our online education platforms, engaged by millions of students and teachers worldwide.
I would love to hear from you. Please reach me on anders@hojmose.com or connect on LinkedIn.
