## Description

Nygaard Design is the independent UX/UI and product design practice of Brent Nygaard, a Cape Town-based design engineer who works with clients globally. With experience dating back to 2012, Brent partners with development agencies and technical founders that need senior design leadership without hiring a full-time designer. He combines strategic direction with hands-on design and development, helping teams reduce design debt and move from product ideas to work developers can build.

Services include ongoing fractional design leadership, design systems, focused design sprints, and custom UX/UI projects for web apps, SaaS products, and mobile applications. Brent also offers usability, accessibility, and information architecture audits; end-to-end marketing website design and builds; conversion rate optimisation; and generative engine optimisation. For a fast expert review, clients can book a video UI teardown with specific, actionable recommendations.

Selected work spans mobile apps, e-commerce, websites, and prototypes. Nygaard Design emphasises clear design direction, developer-ready deliverables, and close collaboration, supporting teams from early product thinking through implementation.
