who?
My name is Brent Nygaard. I am a UI design professional. I am a USA citizen, born in Kenya, and now living in beautiful Cape Town, South Africa!
I've been in the design industry since 2012. I started out in brand design 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 is for helping people
- that digital user experiences should be accessible
- that everyone who makes software has a responsibility to question what they are making and how it will affect those who use it
If you own or manage a small web dev shop, I'd love to chat with you about how I can help you with great design!
