Fredrik Broman’s Summary
I'm a social guy both online and afk and I like to stay on top of what goes on in the world of web, tech and design. I believe in the digital revolution where the power over brands is moved from corporations to users, and I want to be a part of it. A lot of my life is spent online, and I use my experiences to help my clients move into the digital era.
Designwise I'm influenced by the geometric correctness of 60's Swiss modernists like Müller-Brockmann and Bosshard, combined with the ancient japanese concept of wabi-sabi. The best designs only follow structure and convention where it makes sense, and break the grid in select places to create dischord.
Technology should not dictate the rules of a project, but if I could choose some favourite dev environments it would be Flash/as3, html/css/js and ObjC. The MVC design pattern suits me well.
Fredrik Broman’s Specialties:
Web UI design, web frontend development, Flash/as3, usability best practices, icon design, illustration, Google App Engine, ObjC + Cocoa Touch
