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.

On Daresay and our people

CEO Pernilla with her charisma, vision and trust in the employees was the reason I started.

I came to know about Daresay through my MA thesis when I stumbled upon their Lab project.

Its great to be working with a humble group of super talented humans.

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.

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.
