From Malmö to Finland / Designing & building websites since 2006

Based in Finland, working remotely and collaborating internationally.

About me

I'm André Lindén, a web developer and designer with more than 20 years of experience creating websites and digital experiences for businesses of all sizes.

Originally from Malmö, Sweden, and now based in Finland, I've worked with agencies, in-house teams, and clients across a wide range of industries. Throughout my career, I've helped deliver everything from corporate websites and marketing campaigns to custom CMS solutions and large-scale digital platforms.

My expertise spans front-end development, CMS implementation, UX-focused design, and accessibility. I enjoy bridging the gap between design and development—transforming ideas into intuitive, high-performing websites that are both visually engaging and easy to use.

I believe great websites should look beautiful, perform flawlessly, and provide a seamless experience for every user. Whether I'm collaborating with designers, developers, project managers, or clients, my focus is always on creating thoughtful and effective digital solutions.
