About

Hello, hello?

Mikael Westman

I'm Mikael Westman. After a decade in tech, working in New York City and Stockholm, I've spent the last two years shifting my focus from software to the physical, making furniture and homeware. Creating freely from a place of curiosity and play — no scrum boards, A/B tests, or design systems in sight.

Time in the wood workshop hasn't made me a stranger to screens though. I still enjoy the occasional digital project and vibe coding has been the most fun I've had in front of a computer in years.

Always open to new design collaborations.
