I’m René Johan Jessen. I connect design, e-commerce and automation.

I’m René Johan Jessen. With a background in graphic design, I now work across web development, e-commerce, product data and automation. I connect the visual experience with the systems behind it.

Explore my projects and professional experience. For businesses looking for a creative and technical partner, and teams seeking a colleague who understands the wider digital business.

I like it when a good idea works in practice. When design makes a solution easier to use, and technology creates more room for the work that matters.

Portrait of René Johan Jessen

A collaboration with a clear direction.

We begin by understanding the need and defining the task. Along the way, I make the solution tangible so there is something to see, test and discuss.
