Design and engineering that ship together.
Most agencies hand the design over to engineers. PixelPappa is both. Björn is a designer by training who also engineers, so the brief doesn't get re-interpreted across two contracts — and the product that ships looks like the product you signed up for.
Design that
ships.
Design at PixelPappa means making product decisions, not painting screens. We start every engagement by understanding what to build and who it's for — research, journey mapping, the parts of strategy that change the design. Then we design the product end-to-end: information architecture, interaction, interface, motion, design systems, accessibility. The deliverable isn't a Figma file you hand to your developers. The deliverable is a working product.
In practice that means product discovery that informs the design rather than running as a separate phase. End-to-end UI work, including the screens nobody wants to design. Design systems built to be implemented rather than admired. Accessibility treated as a design problem from the start, not a QA step bolted on at the end. Motion and prototyping that show the product working before it's built.

Engineering
that designers
actually wrote.
Most “designed by a studio, built by a dev shop” products lose a third of the design in the implementation. PixelPappa engineering is done by the same head that designed it. Production-quality code — React, Next.js, mobile, backend, APIs, the database schema, the deploy pipeline. We write the code that ships, and we keep it shipping. No hand-off, no re-interpretation, no “the developers said it can't be done.”
In practice that means frontend in React and Next.js, mobile in a cross-platform stack, backend with API design and database architecture, and the operational layer that turns demo into live: deploy, monitoring, performance. GDPR and accessibility built into the code rather than bolted on. The same person who designed the system writes the components.

What our
partners say
01/10
“Björn's competence, passion and leadership in how to approach Accessibility not just as a matter of compliance but as principles that provide true value for all users of a product. If you care about usability, it is time to also care about accessibility.”

How we
work.
Every engagement starts with a paid discovery. A week or two to understand the problem, talk to the people involved, and write the plan. Premium work isn't free at the front either, and that filter is intentional.
From there, the shape of the engagement follows the shape of the brief. Some are weeks. Some are a year. We don't price by the hour — we price what ships. Twenty years of pattern recognition means we work fast, and fixed pricing rewards that.
No team augmentation. No subcontracted engineering. The same hands that designed it write the code.
Tell us what you're building.
Most projects start with a short conversation. You tell us what you're trying to ship, who it's for, and what's getting in the way. We tell you whether we're the right team — and if we're not, who is. No deck, no pitch, no obligation.
