Summary
Paal Romdahl is a multidisciplinary web designer and WordPress core contributor based in Oslo with 11 years of experience crafting UI/UX, documentation, and teaching-oriented courses that help people get into web design. As a long-time contributor to Gutenberg and a past Automattic-sponsored contributor, he blends hands-on WordPress development with design sensibility and community-facing work such as testing and writing guidance.
