Describe yourself in 5 words?

How does design imbue your life day-to-day? 

As a designer you always think about new solutions, materials, shapes and functions so of course you have a critical mind. I seldom buy things and prefer to be surrounded by a few and welldesigned things, but in a family of 5 and a dog, that is wishful thinking.

I Am Woman was designed to inspire the future of women in business, so with that in mind, if you could you give one piece of advice to young females, what would it be? 

Believe in yourself and your ideas.

Force the world´s leaders to do everything to fight the climate crises. Overthrow all non-democratic governments. Equal payment for same work.as.

How do you spend time outside of work? 

I walk a lot, which comes naturally when having a dog. Spend time with my family, swimming, skiing and I actually have a hobby- ceramics- if time allows.

...Stockholm...
