Hi there!
I am Ulrika Silfverstolpe.
I work as Brand Production Director at Mojang Studios.
About Me
I am a business strategist, department lead, communicator and experienced project manager from the IT-, gaming and advertising industry.
I've studied and worked in Paris, New York and London and my previous roles in international companies and digital agencies have given me a broad range of leadership- and design knowledge. I have held workshops in production processes, creative exploration and user-journeys. I have a proactive personality and a desire to empower the people that I work with. I am process-driven, have a sense of organisation and an eye for the visual.
​
I currently work as Brand Production Director at Mojang Studios, a Swedish video game developer based in Stockholm.
I believe that creativity is at its best when it is collective and I am passionate about my work when I get to make innovative solutions together with a thriving and happy team. ​I am an avid believer in collaboration and my strengths lie in the width of my experience and my ambition to lead with my heart.

"Creativity is inventing, experimenting, growing, taking risks, breaking rules, making mistakes, and having fun." -- Mary Lou Cook
