Formerly with AKQA and NHS, Mark has designed for organizations including Apple, Volvo, Doritos, Google Singapore and EMAAR. His work spans cockpit displays, remote operation systems, and AI-driven interfaces used in high-stakes industrial and defense settings.
Mark Lingonqvist works at the intersection of human factors, engineering, and design — building human–machine interfaces and digital control systems for autonomous fleets, aerospace applications, and heavy industrial environments. His work focuses on creating clarity in complex operator workflows, where usability directly impacts safety, efficiency, and output.
Across projects for Epiroc, GKN Aerospace, Volvo, Appva, and Google, he has delivered over a dozen production interfaces and design systems now used in real-world operations. Through telemetry analysis and iterative refinement, his interfaces have consistently reduced operator task time by an average of 35 %, while improving comprehension and decision speed in high-pressure contexts.
At Epiroc, he designed the HMI foundations for remote-controlled and semi-autonomous machinery, leading workshops with engineers, safety specialists, and operators on-site in mines and testing grounds. He established a shared design language across five divisions, ensuring consistent interaction logic and visual behavior across mobile, embedded, and large-area displays.
Earlier, as Head of Design at Cetrez, he directed a cross-functional team delivering B2B SaaS tools used by Porsche Motorsport and Volkswagen Group, implementing a unified design system that reduced design-to-development handoff by 35 % and improved product consistency across distributed teams. His work in health technology at Appva supported UK and Swedish healthcare providers, cutting app abandonment rates by 36 % and reducing manual review workloads by nearly 50 % through redesigned task flows and AI-assisted features.
Mark has conducted over 200 usability tests, facilitated 50+ co-creation workshops, and produced 100+ reusable components for scalable design systems. His interfaces are used daily by technicians, engineers, and medical professionals who depend on reliable, comprehensible software in demanding environments.
Educated in biomedical science and genetics at the University of Oxford and University of Aberdeen, Mark approaches design with scientific discipline and field-tested pragmatism. He is based in Sweden and the UK, working internationally on projects that combine technical depth, system reliability, and human-centered precision.
