Hi, I am Karin Eriksson, a UX designer with a M.Sc. in Speech and Language Pathology
I perform best when working towards a goal and place great value in good team communication.
My background as a speech and language pathologist provides valuable insight into accessibility, particularly for users with challenges regarding cognitive, language, or motor abilities, which informs my design approach.
I'm motivated by life's experiences, both big and small, and often inspired by shapes and colours in nature. New challenges and environments drive me, and I therefore embrace the feeling of not knowing it all from time to time as it means that I am learning.
Previous colleagues has described me as “she’s the one to get things done”.
Feel free to reach out if you have any ideas or want to talk design!
