Anton Johansson

My name is Anton Johansson, I am a thorough and dedicated interaction designer and software developer.

Currently I am studying for a Master of Science in Interaction Technology and Design at Umeå university, and working part time as an Interaction Designer at Siine.

If possible I prefer information design over interaction design. I work with the belief that when designing interfaces for people, one first need to know why they use it and if they really have to. Interaction for the sake of interaction should only be used for games and amusement.

We want the computers to work for us not the other way around.
