Andreas Melvær is a product designer and prototyping specialist with extensive experience helping founders turn early ideas into clear, testable products. He works hands-on with tools like Figma, Figma Make, and modern no-code platforms to move teams quickly from concept to something users can actually interact with.

Andreas has been featured by Figma itself for his work on how teams can use Figma Make to bridge design and building, and he is known for making complex product decisions feel simple and actionable. His background spans startups, scaleups, and innovation programs, where speed, clarity, and momentum matter. He has invested in several tech startups, including a recent exit through an acquisition by eBay.

Outside the screen, Andreas brings an uncommon mix of perspectives. He is a co-organiser of the Mash Craft Beer Festival in Barcelona, owns a bar, and has crossed the Pacific Ocean by sailboat. This combination of product thinking, entrepreneurship, and lived experience shapes a practical, grounded teaching style focused on real-world execution, not theory.

Line Hjartarson is a product builder and no-code specialist focused on creating meaningful digital products quickly and effectively. She is the winner of Lovable's She Builds Buildathon, where she and her team stood out for combining strong user understanding, clear execution, and beautiful UI-design.

Line works at the intersection of product thinking, user journeys, and hands-on building. She has a talent for breaking ideas down into simple, buildable steps and helping teams understand what really needs to be built first — and what can wait.

As a facilitator and builder, Line is known for her calm, supportive approach and her ability to lower the threshold for getting started. She believes more people should feel confident building products themselves, and she focuses on practical learning that participants can apply immediately after the session.
