Hi, I'm Erica
Welcome to my online CV, where you'll gain valuable insights into my professional journey. But before we dive into that, let me share a bit about myself...
I have a large passion for creativity in various forms, but I've under the years sharpened my skills as a film producer. Guiding projects to their successful completion, collaborating with fantastic large teams, adhering to budgets, and maintaining efficient timelines are my forte. Within my professional DNA, you'll find attributes like detailed organisation, effective communication, and a keen awareness of emerging trends and strategies.
After 4 years at Edisen, preciously named Chimney, I have now continued my journey as a producer in Örebro. Edisen provided the ideal environment and support to gather a wide understanding for film production and campaigns together with large professional teams that led me to evolve into the producer I am today.
In Örebro, I work as a producer at TakeOff, a production company established in 1983. With a strong history of serving clients in the industrial sector—such as Epiroc, Boliden, and NCC—TakeOff has built a reputation for delivering impactful films. Together, we produce films that drive results, whether by evoking emotions, simplifying complex ideas, or inspiring action.
I am originally from Södertälje, Stockholm, but at the age of 10 I embarked on a journey with my family and relocated to Singapore. Eventually, I returned to my roots to pursue higher education at Örebro University a the age of 19, where I earned a bachelor's degree in Media and Communications, with a specialization in film.
Today I live with Andreas, our ragdoll Jordan H. and two pugs Polly and Princess Peach. We enjoy a great brunch with strong coffee, walks in the forest, painting warhammer, photography, meeting new people and all that great stuff that makes us feel alive.
