SHORT BIO

Hello World! I'm a Swedish Designer with 9 years experience of digital- & UX- design.

I started as a Web Designer and Art Director at digital agencies. Since 2014 I have focused on Service Design & Methods, user-research, testing and prototyping at the Design Agency Veryday.

I strive to understand the restrictions of marketing, manufacturing, social norms and/or expectations but not to be limited by the current set of rules. I strongly believe that the design world needs less assumptions and more exploration in order to be open to the less-than-obvious solutions.

Let's make the world at least a tiny bit better.

Say hello

Featured Skills

Ideation & Prototyping

To ideate new services, concepts and features to prototype and test is one of my favourite things. I work best with the end-user in mind. To co-create and develop together with users makes it easier to ”kill your darlings” and get the best results.

Design skills

Design is all about the users, context, placement and less of the selected tool. I have therefore kept my skillset broad instead of narrow. I usually design: responsive web design, small device screens, apps, connected products, large prints, presentations and video's etc.

TECHNOLOGY AND CODE

I started out as a front-end developer and I have kept my self updated with technical trends to maintain an overall knowledge. I still like to do small prototype projects with HTML, CSS, PHP och jQuery just for fun, even though my skills are a bit rusty now.

COLLEAGUE'S & CLIENT'S

I like it best when working agile in conjunction with the client. To research and explain their customers User Experience and ideate from the clients rich expertise of their business area. If the day had more hours I would love to teach, discuss and get even more new perspectives from my co-workers.

Lars SundelinService Designer at Veryday

Teresa är en mångfacetterad designer som jobbar både strukturerat och intuitivt. Hon har en stark känsla för "sensemaking" och har under tiden vi jobbat tillsammans lyckats skapa ordning ur kaos. Det har också varit ett nöje att presentera projektens slutresultat för kund tillsammans med henne.

Jag saknar att ha Teresa i min projektgrupp! Hon har en bred kunskap och en stor nyfikenhet som gör att hon alltid har koll på de senaste digitala trenderna! Dessutom är hon grymt rolig och enkel att jobba med.

Teresa är en härlig och driven tjej med känsla för både form och programmering. Jag hade förmånen att jobba tillsammans med henne i 2 år på Projector med framför allt Samsung som största kund.
