I design products users love.
No fluff, just beautiful UI
and intuitive UX.
I'm Esben, a Copenhagen-based product designer with over a decade of experience creating digital products.
Pento
Payroll, automated and hassle-free.
Design Lead · 2020 — '24 · Seed to Series B (Acquired)
As the first designer at Pento, I designed the product end to end and created the design system that carried us through every stage of growth. As the company grew, so did my role: I hired and led the design team and co-owned the product direction. Together, we built a product that could serve companies with thousands of employees and took Pento from seed to Series B, and were eventually acquired by HiBob.
Patientsky
Open healthcare, as it should be.
Senior Designer · 2018 — '20 · Growth (Acquired)
As the sole designer at Patientsky, I was responsible for both the product and the design system across our healthcare software for doctors and patients. I started out designing the clinic and patient-facing interfaces, built the component library that grew into our design system, and spent time in clinics across Norway watching how doctors actually worked. PatientSky was later acquired by EG.
Multiverse
Reimagining professional development at scale.
Principal Product Designer · 2024 — '25 · Series D
As a principal designer in a team of 20, I worked across product teams to raise the quality bar and strengthen the design system as a shared foundation for design and engineering. That meant tightening the alignment between design and code and establishing how components are proposed, reviewed, and shipped. I also mentored designers and led the design work on key company bets.
