Ulrikke Akerbæk

User Experience through digital interfaces, interaction, branding and visual design has been her passion and focus since Ulrikke Akerbæk created her first website at age 14.

She is educated in Multimedia and communication and knows audio, video, photo and visual design – in theory, and practice. Through work, she has become skilled in front-end development and interaction design, and she is currently taking courses related to User Experience at The Interaction Design Foundation.

In 2010 she started working as a SharePoint Consultant specializing in Information architecture, branding and user adoption. Microsoft acquired Adxstudio in 2015 and turned it into the product we today know as Power Apps Portals. It was a perfect fit for her, and she quickly adopted the platform.

Ulrikke was one of the first people in Norway to start working with Power Apps Portals and quickly discovered that there was not much community content out there yet. Whenever she would figure something out, she would create a blog post for herself as documentation for later projects. That’s how her blog started; more as a reference for herself than anything else. Thanks to the amazing giants that helped her along; Nick Doelman, Nicholas Hayduk, Jim Novak, Colin Vermander and Derik Bormann.

Since 2016, she has been the lead front-end developer, designer, architect and product adviser on one of the biggest Power Apps Portals projects in Norway. She is a public speaker at events that feature the Power Platform both internationally and locally here in Norway. She is a blogger, and active community contributor and has the honour of being a part of the Portals Zero to Hero league.
