Hello, I’m a Lead UI Designer, Motion Designer and Senior Product Designer with 25+ years of experience designing digital products across apps, games, and platform experiences. Over the last decade, I’ve focused on leading UI and interaction design, combining strong visual craft with motion-driven UX to create polished, intuitive, and implementation-ready products. In my recent roles, I’ve owned UI quality end-to-end—from navigation structure and feature discovery to motion feedback, transitions, and usability refinement. I regularly use motion prototyping to explore interaction ideas early, align teams, and reduce ambiguity before development. This approach has helped ship clearer features, smoother flows, and more confident design decisions across both product and game teams. I’ve worked closely with product managers, developers, and stakeholders in fully remote, cross-functional environments, contributing not just execution but also ideation, product direction, and visual strategy. Alongside product work, I often extend the visual language into marketing assets and motion ads, ensuring consistency between the product experience and outward-facing campaigns. My background includes leading UI design on App Store top-downloaded games, building and maintaining design systems, and delivering production-ready assets that developers can trust. I’m comfortable operating at both a high-level strategic view and deep in the details—typography, hierarchy, motion timing, and interaction nuance. I’m currently open to remote Senior, Lead, or Staff-level roles where UI craft, interaction design, and motion are valued as part of the product experience. I’d love to bring my experience, taste, and collaborative mindset to a team building thoughtful, high-quality digital products. Thank you for your time and consideration. I’d be happy to share examples of my work and discuss how I could contribute to your team. Best regards, Hólmsteinn Össur Kristjánsson Lead UI Designer / Motion Designer / Senior Product Designer (UI + Motion)
