Resume - Maria Paulsson
I am creative and solution-oriented, with a “how hard can it be?” mindset shaped by my upbringing outside Östersund. I thrive on finding smart solutions with limited resources and am driven by continuous development. Humor, collaboration, and engagement are at the core of how I work.
My core strength lies in design, with a strong eye for color and form. I have broad experience in communication – from storytelling, campaigns, and social media to photography, film, illustration, CRM, events, project management, and crisis communication. I have also worked extensively with AI, where I have both created my own AI service and built a website focused on learning about AI. In addition, I have produced and optimized campaigns in Meta Ads Manager with clear, measurable goals.
Work Experience
I have broad experience in communication, marketing, and graphic design, including both strategic and operational work with social media, advertising, brand development, photography, and film. I am accustomed to taking ownership, working in fast-paced environments, and driving projects from idea to final delivery, with a particular strength in creative problem-solving and visual expression.
