I'm Niklas Peterson, a father of two, passionate about design, technology and innovation. Currently shaping experiences as a Senior Product Designer at LottieFiles.
Outside work, you'll find me cherishing quality time with my family. In my free moments, I enjoy exploring design and coding. I've created two iOS apps, Titls & Hydrify. These are personal projects that let me scratch that creative itch by seamlessly blending design, development, and tech.
