Small things that make everyday life a little brighter.

I'm Erik Markensten. I make small apps for everyday life, the kind you get right away.

embellie /ɑ̃.bɛ.li/ · French

A brief break between two showers, when the sun comes through. That is how the apps should feel: something messy clears up.

Apps that do one thing really well

The family's recipes, this week's dinners and the shopping list in one place. Paste a recipe link and get a shopping list.

Open Matlistan

See right away if you can park where you are, what it costs and for how long. Built on the City of Stockholm's open data.

Find parking

Hotel search by feel, not just price. A small chart shows how guests describe each hotel, and the search learns what you like. Still a prototype.

Try Vibe stays

I live for those moments. The break in the weather, the set you waited all morning for, the idea that suddenly clicks.

About

I'm a UX designer in Stockholm. Embellie Studio is my own company, where ideas I can't let go of become apps.

Sometimes it's images, prints and experiments too. Just for fun.
