About me
My name is Pauline Björk and I just finished my master’s degree in Interaction Design and Technologies at Chalmers University of Technology. The goal I have for my future career is to become a UX/UI designer. I want to work with developing new or improving existing systems in an accessible and user friendly way. One of the things I enjoy the most is working closely with users to gain as much insight as possible to identify design problems and find the pest solutions for a user centred design.
During my studies I discovered my passion for creative project work. To collaborate with a diverse group of people with different backgrounds to achieve a mutual goal is my favourite part about projects. That I could be one of the people that can share all my ideas and combine my creativity with others sounds like a dream and is something I see myself doing in the future. I am ready to take on the necessary responsibilities and grow my skills by developing and improving meaningful products.
During my masters degree I have learned a lot about ideating, creative collaboration and using different tools to bring my ideas to life both physically and digitally. Figma is my preferred tool for visualising and prototyping ideas, and I have developed strong proficiency in it through five years of regular use during my studies. Thanks to my software engineering bachelor degree I have good knowledge of code, which is useful when collaborating with software developers.
During project work I enjoy taking initiative and I am capable of taking on various roles. From my working experience at Volvo and Aurobay I have received feedback that I am a very positive, engaged and self-driven employee.
