Jacob Lindborg…

Artist by heart, architect by mind! I’m an intuitive hybrid designer and developer, with focus on details, quality and creative approach.

People often see me in different roles as an artist, a developer, a director… but I see myself creating ideas and projects, through whatever role that takes me. It’s about creating the perfect digital experience, with engaging designs and intuitive development!

Through the last twelve years of my career I have been at the edge in a constant search for knowledge to push my creations to the limit. Allways looking for new innovations to play with, new technologies, new technics, new solutions. This search has been the drive behind my deversity and the wide variety of advance skills I have optained in my career.

As Creative Director at Webfighter Inc., leading our concepts, projects and developers, my plate is filled each day with the wonders and far edges of the Internet. Trough my ideas, artwork and architecture, my drive is to create intuitive and engaging designs based on a digital user experience strategy, with a unique creative touch and innovative programming.
