A quote I like

“It is always good in the end. If it is not good, it is not the end.”

On Daresay and our people

The true sincerity among very welcoming and warm people made me join. What made me stay is the influence me as an employee can have at Daresay, the respect we show towards each other and the way we strive to always be a little better, and do more and more interesting projects, always with our values in mind.

What you wouldn't know about me from reading my bio

I can carry 42 wine glasses and have an extraordinary memory when it comes to worthless things, like knowing all the Swedish landscape animals, and details like people’s birthdates and credit card numbers ;).

On Daresay and our people

I joined Daresay because I wanted to work at an agency that strives to create services with a positive impact on society. I really value the warm and friendly atmosphere, my brilliant and empathic colleagues and that Daresay is people-centric not only when it comes to creating services, but also when it comes to the workplace, the company culture and the leadership philosophy.

A quote I like

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”
Winston Churchill

On Daresay and our people

CEO Pernilla with her charisma, vision and trust in the employees was the reason I started. What makes me stay is the company culture and values she helped instill, the inspiring curiousity and skills of my colleagues, the meaningful challenges that make me grow, the thoughtfully chosen clients with whom I can make a big difference in society and the warm feeling the Daresay people sends out.

What you wouldn't know about me from reading my bio

I am the father of the “don’t break a sweat” training philosophy, which you can’t find on the internet. Yet.

On Daresay and our people

I came to know about Daresay through my MA thesis when I stumbled upon their Lab project. I’d always wanted to work with a company that balanced work and play by investing resources to in-house projects and new ideas. Daresay has all the right ingredients for a People-Centred work place. Its great to be working with a humble group of super talented humans.

A quote I like

“I don’t want to be interesting. I want to be good.”
Mies van der Rohe

On Daresay and our people

I like building things and that’s why I co-founded Daresay in 2008. Creating usable and well-thought-through services is the core of everything we do here. It’s also important that work should be something you look forward to and that you have fun. Working with people that are better than you and who can teach you new ways are important and having a diverse group of people is the simplest way to achieve that.

What you wouldn’t know about me from reading my bio

I used to work as a forester and a hodge before I realised I was good at programming, which made me go to university to learn about cognitive science. I want to build my own wooden kayak one day.

I love running. My goal is to run the Self-Transcendence 3100 Mile Race one day.

On Daresay and our people

I wanted to explore new ways of working as a designer and a friend who works at Daresay praised the innovative and warm atmosphere here. What made me want to join Daresay was not only the ways of working but also the aim for contributing to our community by developing services that improve peoples everyday life. In common for the Daresayers is their curiosity and generosity.

“We see things not as they are, but as we are.”
H.M. Tomlinson.

On Daresay and our people

Back in 2010 I was almost depressed working as a software engineer building a lot of features no one would use or care for. I joined Screen Interaction (as employee #10) to create things for people, not because of technology. We’ve grown into Daresay, a company with honest, prestigeless and brilliant people. Glad that I could bring it to Umeå.

What you wouldn’t know about me from reading my bio

I like being outdoors. Trail running, hiking or just breathing. Since moving to Umeå I ride my bike to work all year (using studded tires during winter). Anfield is my church.
