About me

Hey there! My name is Joakim Sommar, a soon-to-be 30 year old designer, from Sweden.

To keep a long story short, here's a few things that led to my career as a designer:

  • Started playing around with design in digital softwares  when I was 10 years old
  • Digital design & communication in high school
  • Different kinds of jobs that demanded no special skills motivated me to study more..
  • Which led to a bachelor in Graphic Design & Technology
  • And so on.. until I became a web designer and eventually what I am now – a UX/UI designer!

During my free time I do a lot of different things, apart from digital design I also love painting on canvases. If you'd like to see more of my creative side, check out my instagram feed @artbysommar.

I love dogs

Especially my own dog, that me and my partner got in the spring of 2023.
A spanish water dog who has a super strong personality. Sometimes when he doesn't get what he wants, he simply walks away – lies down – and sigh very loudly.

I also love motorcycles

And during the same year as I got my dog, I also managed to obtain the license and buy my first motorcycle. Super happy! 
If you're in Sweden and ride as well, hit me up on Instagram or LinkedIn, and we can enjoy the roads together!
