Vera Sjunnesson

Frontend developer

+ digital designer

I'm a React developer and designer seeking opportunities within the tech industry. I thrive on challenging projects, embrace new technologies, and bring a unique perspective thanks to my background in film and visual art. With experience in roles such as a graphic designer, art department creative, and scriptwriter in both the United States and Sweden, I've developed valuable skills in collaboration, adaptability and creativity.

Having earned an MFA degree in film production from New York University and a degree in visual art from Konstfack, Stockholm, I approach any problem with an open and imaginative mindset.

In my spare time, I develop projects that promote female representation in film and tango events.
