Who I am

Picture of Staffan Hesselbom, Web-AD and Digital Designer

My name is Staffan Hesselbom and I work as a freelance Web-AD, Digital Designer and Front-End Developer.

I have worked with this as a professional since early in the year 2000. I was born and raised in a town called Örebro in Sweden, but I moved to the Swedish capital Stockholm in March 2000 when I got a job as a web designer on a start-up. In September 2012 I started my own company, Hyperdyne AB.

My main focus is on appealing, user-friendly design that will be available to all! Apart from strong graphic skills, I focus also on the website code to be as good as possible, to help people with various disabilities, but also to search engines like Google find and index the page correctly.

I have a great personal interest in what is happening on the web and make sure to keep an eye on the latest trends and the latest technology.
