The Frank Bank - Future Bank Concept. 2008
One thing, more than anything else, has come to our realization; “to be better, you have to be different”. And applied to the Scandinavian banking industry sector it is evident that same, same, same, isn’t the way to competitive superiority. The market is dominated by a few number of major actors, large traditional conservative conglomerates.

Pål Stian Bendiksen, Developer, IconMedialab | Linkedin
"Erik is a guy that is very passionate about his work. He is very creative and good at matching creativity with reaching the customers goals. His deigns are cool, and they make sense to users. Working with Erik is always fun, and he brings a lot of energy to a group. He is a guy that delivers, and I would like to work with him again any time."
Peter Hofer, Designer, Tieto | Linkedin
“Erik is a digital entrepreneur always vigilant to trends and generates fresh ideas when it counts. This combined with his excellent sense of graphic design and knowledge in the digital context: concept development, interaction design, and technological development makes Erik an invaluable participant in those challenging projects which makes great demands on the user experience and seek that “wow experience.” Or, as we say together when we quote Jonathan Ive "It’s about getting the design out of the way". In addition, he makes me laugh on Monday mornings!”
Gustaf Brandberg, Digital Business Advisor, Tieto | Linkedin
“Erik is more than just a very talented visual designer; always full of new ideas for products, services and new business models. As a designer, he is fast, good and always prepared to put in the extra effort needed to create that wow experience that jaw-dropping design can give you (Thanks Erik for giving me that feeling Monday morning a couple of weeks ago).”
Johannes Zachrisso, Interaction Designer/ UX consultant, Tieto | Linkedin“Erik is a good visual designer who is up to date with trends and developments, both within visual design and technology. He is also good at networking and costumer interaction.”
Christer Kolterjahn, Senior Consultant, technology, Tieto | Linkedin
“Erik is a highly skilled and creative visual designer - both web site and logo design. He also has a lot of innovative ideas and he is a great guy to work with.”
Camilla Smedstad Hansen, Webforvalter og prosjektleder, Gjensidige
“Hittil i prosessen er vi veldig fornøyd med innsatsen til Erik. Han er lett og morsom å samarbeide med. Han er flink til å inkludere andre, lytte til innspill og utfordre ideer. Designkunnskapen hans veier tungt og han argumenterer godt for det han gjør, som har ført til mange gode diskusjoner. Det er viktig å tenke helhet, se sammenhenger og ikke minst ha brukeren i fokus. Erik mestrer dette godt, men er sterkere på design enn på usability. Ettersom vi har mye usability-kunnskap i avdelingen, passet dette veldig godt.”
