In the accounting system Fiken, everyone thinks about design, and everyone must use the product themselves. This way, Fiken is built on design. Åshild will talk about what it’s like to be a small design team for a large product and the importance of having a solid design foundation to efficiently develop, implement, and push out new functionality quickly and effectively, without compromising on quality and great user experience.
About Åshild Knudsen👑
As the Head of Design at Fiken, Åshild Knudsen focuses on creating a user-friendly, simple, and intuitive accounting program that allows small businesses and self employed professionals to manage their accounts independently.
Over the years, Åshild has come to the realization that the intersection between solid craftsmanship and curiosity is a fruitful place to work from, meaning that she isn’t afraid to explore uncharted territories and try new solutions.
Her greatest strength lies in the ability to solve complex challenges in a simple and understandable way. So, when does she give herself a pat on the back? When she manages to do exactly that: make something difficult easy to understand.
