Polestar
Internship + Employment:
Copywriter. 2020–2025.
Text and language handling. In a myriad of ways.
Polestar Cars was my workplace from March 2020.
Initially entering the company for an internship as part of my copywriting education, I ended up getting employed at the tail end of 2020 and remained a full-time employee until the end of 2025.
My first two years at the company coincided both with the COVID-19 pandemic and an intensely expansive period for Polestar. This necessitated a great deal of flexibility from my work effort, dealing both with the limitations of remote/online meetings and the challenge of a very broad span of tasks for various departments. My technical background was a big asset, enabling me to quickly learn and adapt to a wide range of digital systems and work tools.

The Digital department was my official “home base” at Polestar. Under the title of Copywriter, I worked with everything from UX writing for e-commerce and mobile apps, to handling content management and translation requests in the CMS, to localisation editing and publishing for various web applications.

Polestar Design: Product UX
UX + technical writing, localisation editing, and QA
During 2024, I supported the Product UX team at Polestar Design, working with UX writing, technical writing, and localisation for the infotainment systems of three cars: Polestar 3, Polestar 4 and Polestar 5.
I worked with the UX designers in Figma and with the development teams by directly editing XML resource files for Android Automotive OS. Additionally, I supported the EcarX China team by doing a full localisation review of the English translation for the Chinese version of the Polestar 4 infotainment system.

PR and Communications
Copywriting, translation, photography
Throughout my time at Polestar, I occasionally assisted the PR and Communications departments with writing and photography. I wrote a global press release in the summer of 2020, during my first year at the company, and a short article for the News page later the same year. I’ve continued to write numerous Swedish translations of news articles. More recently, I helped the comms department out with some press photos of Head of Sustainability Fredrika Klarén and PO for Charging & Energy Emanuella Wallin.
