Lead Product Designer: Advancing Prosthetic Innovation & Medical Device UX

Reykjavík, Capital Region, Iceland

About

I'm a Product Designer with more than 20 years of experience in medical devices and consumer electronics. I've spent much of my career working on prosthetics and tech products like smartphones and tablets—two areas I'm genuinely passionate about. At Össur, I've collaborated with cross-functional teams on projects that make a real difference for people facing mobility challenges. I combine design thinking with hands-on technical skills in 3D-CAD and product lifecycle management, always keeping the end user's needs front and center. What drives me is working at the intersection of healthcare and technology. Whether I'm designing medical devices that improve someone's daily life or consumer electronics that change how people interact with technology, I love tackling the complexity of product development and delivering solutions that truly work for people.
