About

I’m Teresa, an experienced designer from Ireland based in Stockholm. I work at Ericsson Sweden’s Experience Design studio. I bring unconventional thinking, playful tones, and storytelling to my advertising, research, innovation, and product design work. I work fast, challenge my role, and thrive in interdisciplinary collaboration.

I collaborate with Ericsson on projects in Sweden and Ireland, working with global teams on innovative technologies like 5G network slicing, extended reality, and automated asset management software.

I work in ConsumerLab, currently, focused on developing 5G monetization opportunities for telecom operators with the global Startup5G program and emerging startups.

I help organize Ericsson UX Hangouts and Conferences for designers globally. We arrange for inspirational speakers to share their experiences in Design and Technology. I also speak at these events on collaborating with hybrid cross-functional teams.

Personal Growth: I am exploring tangible communication mediums with 3D, graphic prop making, and illustrations.

Mindful Time: I produce Irish theatre, table quizzes, swim, read thrillers, and attend cinema events.
