Employment
inUse, 2017 –
Visual Designer and User Experience Designer
After being self-employed for many years I missed having colleagues and being part of a creative collective. I made a shortlist of great places to work, contacted inUse and immediately felt it was the right choice. At inUse I have honed my UX skills but also kept refining my visual design with a focus on simplicity, usability and accessibility. I have worked with clients including Telenor, Regeringskansliet, Axfood and Feelgood.
Semara Productions, 2003 –
Visual Designer
Since 2003 I have run my own visual and UX design company. Customers have included large agencies such as Antrop, Ziggy Creative Colony and inUse, all telecom operators, media houses such as Schibsted (Aftonbladet, TV.nu etc), Bonnier (Expressen, TV4, DN and others) and MTG (Metro). I have worked with privately owned companies, but also companies such as PTK, the Swedish Food Agency, Collectum and SBAB. I usually work with repeat customers, which clearly shows their appreciation for my work.
Broaden AB, 2007 – 2008
Visual Designer
The company developed and operated its own communities (web and mobile) and developed a community platform. My mission was to lead the design work for the community section. I developed graphic profiles, logos, and entire sites — optimized for both desktop and mobile. I also produced all design, both UX and visual. Also materials for prints, posters and clothes and more were produced by me. We launched two separate communities during my time at Broaden, both for desktop and mobile.
Emunity AB, 2006 – 2007
Visual Designer
Among other things, Emunity delivered mobile content to the major media houses, and my main assignment was ad production (print) for Expressen and Aftonbladet. I was also responsible for the design of our sales channels at expressen.se as well as graphics / layout for a variety of mobile services (like ad campaigns for example Telia, TV3, ZTV, et cetera).
dvdforum.nu, 1999 – 2005
Community Manager / Creative Director
I was asked by the site owner to run both the design and community sections of dvdforum.nu. I worked with version 2 of the website and was visually responsible for, and developed, version 3. I also produced advertising material for web and print, as well as giveaways such as t-shirts and similar. During my time at dvdforum.nu, the site became Scandinavia’s largest site for film and home cinema with over 20,000 active members.
NOVA HögskoleCentrum, 2003 – 2005
Supervisor / IT Technician
I set up, and was responsible for, video conferencing systems where students connected to various colleges around the country. While the teachers were in other parts of the country, I also supervised the students and helped them on site.
