August Björnberg

I'm an engineer and creative technologist with over fifteen years of experience building digital work. Most recently, I spent nearly a decade in San Francisco working in Labs at Goodby Silverstein & Partners.

A lot of the work there involved identifying what was possible with emerging technology and conceptualizing how those ideas could work for global audiences. While my career began in frontend, it has evolved over the years to include broader responsibilities like system design, architecture, and creative direction.

I've typically stayed with projects through their full lifecycle, taking responsibility for the work from the initial concept and prototype to the final production launch.
