Senior🎓
Top SchoolSebastian Hansen is Head of Design & Innovation with 13 years of experience blending hands-on full‑stack engineering and strategic UX to deliver accessible, regulated MedTech and public‑sector services from Oslo. He pairs a MSc in Interaction Design with an engineering background, enabling him to move fluidly between code, prototypes and stakeholder alignment while championing standards like WCAG and ISO-9241. Known for running 200+ workshops and mentoring over 500 students, he excels at fostering psychological safety across multi‑team design forums and scaling design systems and reusable Figma components. His career spans consulting and leadership roles at Innovation Norway, EVRY and major public institutions, solving complex information‑architecture problems for large datasets and regulated domains.

Off the clock he’s as likely to be snowboarding or relaxing in a hammock as he is experimenting with new front-end techniques.
