Hi, I'm Terese! Nice to meet you.

A brief summary

I’m a UX Engineer - a combined Designer & Web Developer.

Currently I’m developing for Lynk & Co. via Sigma Technology Insights Solutions.

I graduated from University of Gothenburg - HDK-Valand with a Bachelor’s Degree in Design. Since then I have practiced and explored the digital in a user experience through work and continued education in Service Design and Web Development at Yrgo.

As an organized team player with a sharp eye for details, I believe that great work comes from a place of empathy for the user and by sharing that view within the team. I’m driven to create value and to build trust for the content delivered.
