About
I'm Morten Adelsen Jakobsen, a UX / Product Engineer based in Aalborg, Denmark. For the last six years I've been Lead Product Experience Engineer at Chromaviso — a health-tech company delivering evidence-based lighting systems to hospitals, care homes, and clinical facilities across Denmark and internationally.
My background is in Engineering Psychology (Product and Design Psychology) from Aalborg University. I think about interfaces the way an engineer thinks about systems: rigorously, from the user outward. My work sits at the intersection of design and engineering — I'm comfortable in Figma and in a codebase, and most useful in the space between them.
What I've done at Chromaviso
I've been the principal architect of Chromaviso's product experience for six years, across:
- Design systems and icon libraries for multi-surface clinical hardware
- Wall-mounted and touchscreen interface design for hospital environments
- Lighting scene design — translating photobiological evidence into clinical usability
- Field research in operating theatres, ICUs, psychiatric wards, and nursing care homes
- Product and installation documentation, physical materials, and instructional design
- UX lead on an EU-funded research project applying ML to personalised health lighting
What I'm thinking about now
I'm particularly interested in how AI and LLMs change the design space for professional tools. My work on calibrated trust — both academically and at Chromaviso — has made me think carefully about the gap between "users trust the AI" and "users trust the AI at the right level." That's the interesting design problem of the next decade, and it's one I want to work on.
