Apoteket is Sweden's top pharmacy with a long history. Their goal is to reach out and be available to everyone in need. The organisation cooperates with different partners in healthcare. They also own numerous services and offer high quality products.

Assignment & Responsibility

Lead UX Designer also Trusted Advisor, working in cross-functional teams. Similarly, keeping close contact with Product Owners and Stakeholder. Ultimately, my main assignment has been optimising and creating new design for Apoteket's e-commerce website. I worked with their mobile application and some other services. In order to fullfil my assignments I introduced and developed innovative Ways of Working (WoW) and contributed to their UX Design Process. As a result, production speed increased and so did team involvement. Later SAFe framework was integrated to which we adapted the previous WoW.

With team effort we created and modified various toolboxes. Regular retrospectives and brainstorming together on a regular basis resulted to generating successful ideas. Also, I introduced latest instruments to perform better in monitoring for UX and help the marketing department understand their customers. Finally and above all, as Accessibility Ambassador, one of my main tasks has been making Apoteket's digital products more accessible by following existing accessibility guidelines like WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines) and testing their products. As a result, all team members, including stakeholders, have greater understanding of why this specific topic is important to everyone and how the organisation benefits from thinking Inclusive Design.
