who?
My name is Brent Nygaard. I'm a UX, UI and brand design professional. As a USA citizen, born in Kenya, and now living in the beautiful Cape Town, South Africa, I've got a unique cultural identity and worldview that gives my work its own special somethin'.
I've been in the design industry since 2012. I started out in brand design crafting logos and packaging, but realized that I had a natural knack for digital interfaces and strategy and have been steering my career that way ever since.
I believe that:
- design should be used to improve the world for people
- user experiences should be accessible to as many people as possible
- everyone who designs and builds software has a responsibility to question the purpose of what they are making and how it will affect those who use it
If you are a startup founder making something techy, I'd love to chat with you about how I can help you with great design!
Darn good brands and UI design for small businesses.
