About Me

Per-Willy Schulz

UX & UI Designer with a developer background — and a deep appreciation for clear, user-centered solutions.

​

After nearly three decades of developing digital products — from backend systems to native iOS apps — I’ve now formalized my true focus: designing user experiences that feel intuitive and purposeful.

​

I completed design studies in 2024–2025, earning top grades in UX Design at Noroff and a UI Design certificate from the UX Design Institute. These built on years of close collaboration with designers and hands-on experience with interaction design, research, prototyping, and design systems.

​

My design work is grounded in a broad understanding of how digital experiences come together — shaped by a career across all layers of the stack, with clients including Finn, NRK, Telia, and Posten.

​

“Focused simplicity” is my personal principle: I aim to remove the non-essential and create clarity, flow, and structure in every design — always with respect for platform conventions and the user’s mental model.

Design Values

​

User first

I design from the user’s perspective — grounded in research and real context.

​

“Focused simplicity”

My personal motto. I aim for clarity, structure, and flow — removing the non-essential.

​

Bridging perspectives

  • I connect the worlds of design and technology, helping teams collaborate more effectively.
  • I know the tech, and enjoy using possibilities that aren’t always visible from a design-only viewpoint.

​

Visual clarity

I value strong hierarchy, contrast, and visual rhythm — and yes, I love Dark Mode.

​

System thinking

  • I enjoy creating coherent, reusable design systems.
  • Design tokens, naming logic, and structure all support creative freedom in Figma.

Tools & skills

​

Design & Prototyping

  • Figma (incl. FigJam, Site, Slides)
  • Design systems, atomic design
  • Prototyping, interaction design
  • Accessibility principles

​

UX & UI

  • UX research, wireframing, usability testing
  • UI design for native apps (iOS and Android)
  • UX writing and microcopy

​

Development Understanding

  • Native iOS (Xcode, Swift, SwiftUI, UIKit)
  • HTML, CSS, JS
  • Backend architecture (REST APIs, SQL)
  • Git

​

Other Strengths

  • Cross-disciplinary collaboration
  • Broad industry and domain experience
  • Tech-savvy by nature
