Klaus Nygård
Independent Product Builder
I build digital products. I care about the details, the architecture, the design, the last bit of polish that makes something feel right.
About
I build products with a focus on craft: how they look, feel and work, and the small details that make them feel right. Design and engineering are equally home to me, and I'm comfortable shaping the product and writing the code, often both.
With AI, writing code is rarely the bottleneck anymore. What matters more is judgment that comes from experience: knowing what's worth building, what good looks like, and how to keep a product coherent as it grows.
Focus
- Beautiful products
- I believe in well-crafted products that are as beautiful as they are functional, with care in every detail of the experience.
- Early-stage
- I thrive where things are still being figured out, and I move fast from idea to something real that people can use.
- Engineering and design
- I bring a designer's mindset and an eye for detail, combined with the engineering skills to build things right.
