Editorial Work
In New York
Editor-in-Chief, Jan 2017 – Jan 2018
Together with the communications team at the Swedish-American Chamber of Commerce NY (SACCNY) I reshaped the tone and look of the member magazine. Among other things we centered each issue around a theme such as "Sweden the Brand", and "Retail Revolution" including content for and about member companies which include big household names like Ikea, Volvo, and Skanska, as well as smaller start-ups and firms.

Assistant Editor, May 2015 – June 2016
I wrote articles, such as "Childproofing the new marijuana edibles" and "Loveys, blankies, bears, and other comfort objects for kids" and edited and packaged stories in collaboration with senior editors and freelancers; I built content in the CMS and also planned and wrote weekly newsletters with an eye to analytics, SEO, and generating traffic.
