Top SchoolJennifer Thorsén is a seasoned graphic designer and art director with 16 years of experience crafting magazine and book layouts, currently shaping editorial design at EFN Finansmagasinet while running her own studio. She blends traditional print craftsmanship with modern web skills—HTML, CSS, JavaScript and React—gained through a frontend bootcamp and practical projects, enabling seamless collaboration between print and digital teams. Her portfolio spans major Nordic titles (Sköna Hem, ToppHälsa, Amelia, Tara) and long-term AD roles, demonstrating deep editorial sensibility and production know-how. Unusually for a designer, she also contributes to open-source backend maintenance work in Erlang/OTP, focusing on crypto library cleanup and API-aligned refactoring. Based in Stockholm, she pairs meticulous visual problem-solving with hands-on technical fluency, and off-hours she sharpens focus and patience through competitive table tennis and timed Rubik’s Cube solves.
