Background.

Background.

I was born and raised on the island of Gotland, Sweden. Most of my work experience has been in Stockholm, but I've also worked remotely with teams on the American West and East Coasts. I'm a trained interaction designer who is always eager to learn new things. As a person, I am pragmatic, flexible, and adaptable to the situations and challenges in life. I have demonstrated a servant leadership mindset, listening and caring about people around me to help them succeed and grow.

Passion

My work for reaching delightful experiences is a real passion. My thinking around products, services, and organizations is to bring purpose, pleasure, and meaning to everything we do.

I always strive to create products and services that reach "the sweet spot," where businesses and users achieve significant value through our work.

Experience

The work with delightful user experiences has been a part of my life for more than 20 years. Regardless of the organization's size, I always strive to meet people and reach a shared understanding of where we are going.
