About
"I haven't tried it before, so of course I can do it."
Experienced design project manager changing from one business to another - with an eager prospect of making a difference. I come from an international background and am used to working in multicultural teams. A commercial and creative mind is my strength.
My portfolio represents my current work, but also contains some of my previous carreer as a fashion designer.
I am studying UX Design in Malmö in south of Sweden and will be ready to fly in May 2022.
Brief description of the skills I am developing:
Master central design principles to create products with the focus on usability and availability. To explore and analyze user behaviour through qualitative and quantitative research methodology. Working with agile methods and understanding how different target groups work in digital interaction. To create usable design from a commercial perspective.
I am looking for a UX/UI internship for 9 weeks, starting in March 2021 in the Malmö region (or as we do in the new world - remote). Any tips, advice and valuable connections are welcome. I have plenty experience in design and project management and am eager to apply my knowledge on the IT business. -
