Who are you, Malin?
– Hi there! My name is Malin Manivone Mossberg. I grew up in Laos and later in life moved here to Sweden. I would describe myself as an outgoing person with big dreams and who likes to challenge herself. I always seem to have something going on. If I’m not travelling, I’m working or creating. Or all at the same time! I thrive when I’m busy and often say “yes” to new opportunities.
What sparked your interest in graphic design?
– The first time I realised that graphic design even existed was when I was in art class during high school. I always thought that art on book covers and fashion magazines was so cool, but I had only painted on paper or canvas. So it became my dream to design my own book, even though I knew very little about how to do it. In my second year of high school I learnt simple techniques in Adobe Illustrator, so in my final year I challenged myself to do it as my high school project. In the end, it became a book! There and then I decided to study graphic design.
What do you do in Compare?
– I work on quite a variety of tasks at Compare, but with a focus on graphic design. For example, I am updating Compare’s graphic profile, making a film about Compare, producing and ordering material for various events. I also actively participate in communication meetings where we are currently discussing the development of Compare’s website.
How has your time at Compare been so far?
– I love it! The work environment is very open and there is a lot of co-operation. All colleagues are very friendly and open to new ideas. There is always someone to turn to if you run into an obstacle or need advice, which I really appreciate.
What has been most interesting?
– There are a lot of things that have been interesting, but if I have to choose something specific, it is to see sketches come to life. The journey from brainstorming to the final result always offers new insights and creative challenges that make the process very interesting.
What do you do in your spare time?
– It depends a bit on the day. If I’ve already spent a lot of time and thought on creative tasks at work, I try to balance it with other activities such as exercising, going out on the town and socialising with friends. Otherwise, I enjoy reading books, scrolling social media, watching YouTube and planning future art projects.
