I’m Amanda, a UX/UI designer based in Stockholm, Sweden, where I work as an LMS designer. Originally from Montreal, Canada, I’ve always loved exploring new places — and that curiosity has shaped both my life and my design career.
I began as a graphic design intern at the National Bank of Canada. After earning my bachelor’s degree in Interdisciplinary Design from NSCAD University in Halifax, Canada, I returned to Montreal and joined CBRE as a graphic designer, collaborating closely with the marketing team.
Alongside full-time roles, I often took on freelance projects, some that involved research and collaboration with engineers. Those experiences opened my eyes to the potential of multidisciplinary design. My first UX position came at McGill University, where I designed and developed online courses, and discovered how much I enjoy creating engaging learning experiences.
Drawn to Sweden’s strong design culture, I moved to study Innovation through Business, Engineering, and Design at Linnaeus University, where I wrote my thesis in collaboration with IKEA.
Since then, I’ve worked as a UX consultant in Stockholm, spent time in Germany returning briefly to graphic design at an ad agency, and later found my way back to Sweden. I also worked as an interim French teacher at IES, combining my love of languages with my passion for communication and learning.
Today, I’m happy to be with Elis — a role that brings together design, education, and international collaboration. It feels like the right fit, with opportunities to grow, create meaningful experiences, and occasionally travel for work.
