About me
Why I'm a digital content designer (student)
When I found out that the artistic trait runs in the family and has been doing so for 200 years, it all made sense. I was living in Los Angeles and my curiosity and eagerness to learn led me to starting up an e-commerce store as a side project. I’m lucky I did because it made me realize what I’m genuinely passionate about. Graphic design. Although It’s been an interest since I was a teenager – I was hungry to learn more. After moving back to Stockholm, I started my studies to become a digital content designer.
What I can help you with
I'm a perceptive and curious designer with big ambitions and a hunger to learn more. Although I'm good at working independently – put me in a team and I will thrive. Nothing inspires me and gives me more energy than communicating with others. And I believe when we encourage and lift each other, the most innovative ideas can take place.
UI/UX design
During my internship in spring 2019 i got the opportunity to design UI elements and modules for several app and web solutions. I'm currently learning more about UX design and user testing. I also have some knowledge in SEO and CRO.
Motion design and animation
My favorite courses at Medieinstitutet has been in motion design. Since learning After Effects, I believe I'm one of the few who enjoys watching commercials on TV. Thinking: I know how to do that. Or: I want to learn how to do that.
Brand identity
One of the things that excites me the most is building brand identities. Digging down to the core to find the true essence of why a brand exists. Finding the key to tailored communication that gets etched in our memories. To create the brands that we love. I want to learn more.
Campaign concepts
I have learned how to use a creative process from beginning to end, to do research, generate strong ideas and create engaging communication. I have learned to design for multiple platforms and channels such as youtube, instagram, facebook and DOOH.
