My name is Carolina and I am a 27-year-old textile designer from Gothenburg with a BA and MA education from the Swedish School of Textiles, graduating in June 2023, with a specialisation in knit design. The main focus of my MA work has been how to communicate storytelling through the interaction between body and textile, which resulted in a collection of knitted body sculptures. The knitted sculpture where planned out on domestic hand-knit machines and realised on a large scale through programming on the SHIMA industrial machine. I have programmed and knitted out my BA collection as well as my MA collection together with the support of a technician. I have a good base knowledge of the knit programs and due to being a very fast learner and good with technology, I am certain that I can a reliable and valuable co-worker.

My main interest is knit design, however, I have also pattern design experience as well as working with designing garments in CLO3D and Illustrator. I have previous experience in both large-scale fashion design, at Monki, and small business operations with Emmamalena. I enjoy working in groups and with specific briefs, creating designs for different prices and clients. I am very efficient, focused, a keen learner and a good problem solver. I have a lot of energy and I am of a positive disposition. Previous education has given me varied knowledge within different art professions, including photography, painting and ceramics, giving me a large understanding of how to work with design in visual as well as tactile contexts.

After a five-year design education and internship, I am excited to start working within the field.


Most sincerely,
Carolina Sardal Jerhov
