Designer, Copenhagen
Andreas Petrovits
Thoughtful design, from brand identity to digital experience.
Open to new roles
In short
From graphic design to designing for users
I've worked in graphic design since 2016, starting while studying Multimedia Design & Communication at UCL before completing a BA in Design & Business in Copenhagen.
Over several years, I worked with Sustainary across branding, websites and digital and print communication. In my final year, I led design work and coordinated interns on two annual events. I also independently worked on a SaaS product, taking it to beta launch and helping secure 120 pre-registrations.
At Codezo, I worked as the sole designer alongside three developers. Since late 2024, I've been freelancing across brand identity, UX, websites and content, focusing on the entire user journey, from first impression to conversion.
With a background in maths and computer science, coding skills and a Google UX Design Certificate, I combine visual thinking with practical problem-solving. Outside design, years of working as a cook have taught me to stay organised under pressure and pay attention to the details.

How I work
The Double Diamond
Understand the problem, explore solutions, and refine until we have something worth shipping. Every decision grounded in real user needs and behaviour.
Step 01
Discover
A 90-minute kickoff, stakeholder interviews and desk research, plus talking to the people who will actually use the thing. Wide on purpose.
Step 02
Define
Everything collapses into one problem statement, a handful of user needs and success criteria we both sign off on before any design starts.
Step 03
Develop
Sketches, wireframes and prototypes in Figma. Several routes, tested with real users, narrowed by what the testing shows rather than by taste.
Step 04
Deliver
Final UI, a component library, and a WordPress or front-end build if you need one. Then we measure against the criteria we set in Define.
Four things you can expect
01
I ask first
Before anything gets drawn I want to know who it's for and what happens if we get it wrong. Briefs improve under questions.
02
Evidence over taste
I'd rather change my own design because a test said so than defend it in a review.
03
I can build it
Front-end and WordPress are part of my toolkit, so I design things that can actually ship, and I can hand off in the language developers use.
04
Systems, not one-offs
Components, type scales and templates, so the work still holds together six months after I've handed it over.
