some personal stuff
When I was in middle school, I chose to follow my heart and ended up in Lerum, where I studied aesthetics, art, and design. Those years shaped my perspective on creativity and expression, teaching me to find beauty in just about everything.
After high school, I entered the workforce and spent two years exploring that world. It was a valuable time that provided me with experiences and insights. One day, I took a drastic step and decided to follow my heart once again. I packed my bags and moved to Malta, all by myself. There, I spent a year learning about a wide range of things, but most importantly, about myself.
After a year in Malta, I decided to join some newfound friends on their return journey to Stockholm, where I stayed for another year. Stockholm offered countless opportunities and inspiration, but unfortunately, it never truly felt like home. My thoughts increasingly turned towards returning home.
Eventually, I succumbed to homesickness and made the decision to return to Alingsås. I started working at a service kiosk, a job where I didn't feel like I was growing. It was then that my sister suggested I try something entirely new, which led to a role as a personal assistant to a young woman in Alingsås. To my surprise, I slowly but surely fell in love with my new job and stayed for five years.
It was during this time that my life took another turn. I met Emil, my current partner, who is a developer with a master's degree in interaction design. He introduced me to an entirely new world of technology and design. His enthusiasm and expertise were infectious, and I quickly became enchanted by the creative process and how design can shape our world.
As I began to feel that I wasn't evolving in my job anymore, I was inspired by Emil and started searching for opportunities to learn more about design and technology. That's when I discovered the Digital Designer program at YRGO, and I knew it was my next step.
I've been asked many times through my life, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" but I've never had an answer.
I now live in Gothenburg, a small train journey away from my parents and for the first time in my life, I know I'm on the right path. To be on a journey that's always evolving, always capable of improvement, and always interesting, all while satisfying my curiosity, is a remarkable feeling.
