Who are you? Let us know where you hail from and what you do.
I’m Victor Erixon, and I’ve been designing for two years now. I currently work remotely for Articulate. I occasionally freelance for clients on the side of that.
What are you working on?
I’m currently working together with my colleagues on updating our entire brand and all of our products. And as I’m the only UI designer, that’s something keeping me very busy at the moment.
On the side of that I’m working for a company that is going to challenge Twitch in the video platform and community for gamers field.
Choose a favorite shot of yours. Tell us why it’s a favorite.
That’s a tricky one, I’m always loving the end product I’ve worked on. But I’ve this weird thing where I start to hate it after two weeks and I try to come up with something even better.
But my favorite has to be the Apple OS X redesign I did a few months ago. Not because it’s a solid redesign, but because of the eight-page discussion thread about it - most of the comments having an angry tone. I felt like I at least got people to care and talk about it. Even Khoi Vinh tweeted about it!
Tell us about your setup. What tools did you use to create the shot (e.g. hardware, software, pens, paper, blowtorch)?
I’m very simple when it comes to my setup. I see most designers having pretty decorated offices with multiple monitors. As I’m traveling much with my current job, I just need my 15” MacBook Retina and my Bose noise cancelling headphones. I normally work at home, in my office, at a café and even out in nature.

What’s not to like? Justin always has a very vibrant style that really attracts my attention. The coloring, the highlights and shadow details are just out of this world.
