Anders Drage

Founding designer · Product · Brand · Marketing

I like working where product, brand, and business meet.

My work is about turning early ideas into products, brands, and launches people can understand, buy, and trust — from messy direction to sharp execution and something real in market. Small teams and new categories are usually where I do my best work.

In a nutshell

  • End-to-end ownership. From discovery, direction, and product thinking to craft, launch, and iteration — with a bias for getting things live without losing quality.
  • Design × business. I care about both how things look and how they perform: conversion, clarity, retention, and brand trust.
  • Founder mindset. Co-founded three companies; used to ambiguity, small teams, and wearing more than one hat.

Recently

Boligmappa

2023–present · Head of design

Leading UX and design direction for products a large share of homeowners in Norway rely on. Building a stronger design practice while improving core journeys in the product.

MICROMILSPEC

2019–2024 · Creative director

Built brand, digital, and physical design from zero with my co-founder. We scaled sales to about 40 MNOK in three years—from bespoke pieces for Erling Haaland to 30+ military units. I touched design, production setup, hiring, logistics, and day-to-day operations.

Highlights

  • Co-founding MICROMILSPEC with Henrik Rye—entering hardware, manufacturing, and CAD without a prior background, and learning the category and tools deeply enough to ship real products.
  • Uber.com redesign with Ueno (Haraldur Thorleifsson & Ben Mingo).
  • Finn.no rebrand with Monna Nordhagen, Miriam Skovholt aMortensen, Ludvig Bruneau Rossow.
  • Design leadership on major TV 2 and Nettavisen digital relaunches.
  • A month in SF redesigning Lever (recruiting software at scale).
  • Press coverage in Dagens Næringsliv (D2) with MICROMILSPEC.
