For the past twenty years, Per Axbom has trained and helped organisations active on a global market to deal with issues of digital usability and accessibility.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Per Axbom is a communication theorist who was born in Liberia and raised in Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. This experience, he says, has made him realise that there are always many ways to view the world.
He objects to how we often focus on doing things in the right way – on improving methods and making them more efficient. Unfortunately, this makes us forget to do the right thing – that which keeps us on the right course. Because of this, people are compromised, treated unjustly, excluded and lured into making unnecessary purchases.
For the past twenty years, Per has trained digital professionals and helped organisations with issues relating to digital usability and accessibility. He teaches at Nackademin and Jönköping University in Sweden, has produced over two hundred podcasts and is a regularly invited speaker the world over.

About the author
Per Axbom
6 books7 followersPer Axbom is a human-centric designer and coach working and writing out of Stockholm, Sweden. His passion and love for the human condition has evolved with his experiences growing up in the diverse countries of Liberia, Saudi Arabia and Tanzania. Per began writing fiction as a young boy, receiving recognition from teachers and winning young writers’ awards.
Contributing to school papers from middle school through college, he went on in the late 1990s to author one of Sweden’s most recognized blogs on usability and design, and later to co-host an internationally acclaimed podcast targeting the intersection of people and digital phenomena.
Following a fulfilling career as a freelancer and visual explainer for digital products, Per is now again finding his voice as an author, writing both works of fiction and non-fiction, always keen on challenging your perception of status quo and bringing to light behavior that can limit or expand experiences of well-being, autonomy and self-worth.
