Johan Brook

I’m coding & designing, and I like working with product, user experience, and interface design. And other things too.

I’d like to write more (don’t we all), and I consume a (un)healthy amount of music.

You can reach me via email or Mastodon. I live in Stockholm, Sweden.

My fav track is ♫ Reconstruct Your Life by John Maus.
