Happy to welcome Himani Paronigar, our new Android Developer to Daresay and our growing happy team in Stockholm🤩
🔸Himani, please tell us a few words about yourself
- I am Android developer, since 3 three years in Stockholm. Before relocating Stockholm from Surat, India I worked with C++ in the retail industry. I enjoy using my knowledge to make peoples lives easier and I hope that I can accomplish this at Daresay!
🔸What are your main drivers? What motivates you as a developer?
- One of the motivations I really like to work with technology is because it satisfies my desire to utilise the things I learn throughout my studies and experiences to overcome problems in real life. Working in IT keeps me constantly fascinated in learning new things because the technology sector is constantly changing and evolving with innovative ideas.
🔸Why Daresay?
- I believe Daresay complements my abilities and provides a wonderful opportunity for them to develop further. Before I joined, I had heard excellent things about Daresay's employees and culture, including how supportive and positive coworkers are, and this is significant to me.
We are growing!🤩
We're happy to welcome Emma Fahlman to Daresay and our growing team in Umeå 🤗
☉ Emma, please tell us a few words about yourself
- I'm a UX Designer with a background in product development and design born in Skellefteå, northern Sweden. During the last couple of years I've worked with the mission to di the restaurant industry and creating products that support and improves the day-to-day life of the people using them. Now I'm looking forward to new experiences together with Daresay!
☉ What motivates you – as a designer and a human being?
- I love a problem stated in whatever form, ready to be investigated and solved in collaboration with other people! It could be anything from business or customer-centric, larger end-to-end flows or more detailed design decisions, but always with the experience in mind. A day containing a lot of communication, creativity, maybe a pen and some papers and a few cups of coffee is to me a great day!
☉ Why Daresay?
- I'm happy to be back at Daresay after writing my master thesis here a few years ago in the Umeå office. Daresay to me is a warm and creative company with curiosity at heart where each individual's personality and expertises are celebrated and elevated, creating a unique environment that I'm excited to be a part of.
Last week we got together for a magical evening at restaurant Kattholmen in Gustavberg to celebrate the coming holiday. In a perfect cosy christmas setting we glöggmingled by the fire, competed in christmas rhymes, karaokeed our hearts out and danced the night away to our own wrapped playlist 💃🕺
Happy holidays from all of us to all of you ❤️
A joyful holiday and a Happy New Year! Won't be a reality for numerous people around the world.
Europe is at war, and the atrocities in Iran remind us of the terror people are capable of. This year, we made a statement that we hope will positively impact and encourage others to follow.
Together with the rest of the Knightec family, we have decided to support the people of Ukraine and Iran by sending them supplies. The demolition of essential infrastructure has left countless Ukrainian households and soldiers in desperate need of heat and power. Ukraine will receive power generators to assist with the energy shortage caused by the war.
In Iran, the leaders are shutting down the network to obstruct the organisation of large demonstrations and to prevent information about the ongoing terror from spreading internationally. The people of Iran will receive communication devices which enable internet connection via satellite.
Together we can make a difference, for real.
I förra veckan fick Södersjukhuset AB Vitalisstipendiet för ett innovationsprojekt på Barnakuten där bland annat kollegor från Daresay Digital Agency varit inblandade. 🏥👶
Stort grattis till alla inblandade! 🏆❤️
Vi är övertygade om att patientdriven innovation kommer att hjälpa till att utveckla en bättre sjukvård för såväl patienter som för all personal som sliter med att tillhandahålla denna samtidigt som man dagligen behöver övervinna existerande utmaningar. En stor eloge till framförallt SöS Innovation som verkligen kämpat för att hitta resurser och möjligheter att genomföra detta fantastiska projekt.

After spending most of 2020 apart we've been so fortunate during 2021 to not only meet everyone for real before summer but to finally open up the office again. We've been taking it slow by introducing magic Mondays and fantastic Fridays (special and fun days at the office) and we even had the chance to end the year with a Christmas celebration leaving us all full of holiday and team spirit.
When we're now heading for a well deserved Christmas holiday we do so with a firm conviction that 2022 will be greater than ever and we can't wait to get back and make it happen. Together, we also strongly believe that this will be the year we will fight back the pandemic.
A very merry Christmas and a happy new year to all Daresayers out there, past, present and future, and a big thank you to our fantastic clients and partners whose interesting, important and invigorating challenges are what makes it so rewarding to go to work. You all rock!
We had a chat with Sebastian Söderback who recently took on the role as Team Lead at Daresay✌️
🔸Congratulations on you new role Sebastian!
-Thanks!
🔸How does it feel to be a team lead at Daresay?
It feels great! Everyone has been very encouraging these first few weeks since it was announced that I would get the new role. I've been working as an interaction designer at Daresay for 4 years now and this is a really exciting new challenge for me.
🔸What does a team lead do?
-A team lead at Daresay still put most hours in client project, but has an added responsibility for supporting team members in building competence and making sure that everyone is listened to and feels happy at work. We're also there to answer questions about the Daresay ways of working and to make sure that everyone fills out their vacation on time... So it’s a mix!
🔸What do you hope to accomplish in this new role?
-I hope that I will be able to help my team members feel like they are growing within their role and field. I feel like I have the most fun at work when I get to learn new stuff and feel like I'm actually improving in my role, so I hope that I can help my team do the same.
🔸Any other thoughts of wisdom to share?
-It's always good to carry tissues. You don't want to find yourself with a nose bleed in a crowded subway with no good way to plug your nose. I learned this the hard way.
DARESAY CASE: A SOLAR PANEL APP DELIVERS UNIQUE UX
Umeå Energi came to Daresay with the challenge to grow the market for solar panels sales and rental in Umeå by providing early adopters with a unique in app user experience – making them proud they invested in green energy.
We applied a collaborative and customer-centric approach to solve this. We began with a Design Sprint, built prototypes, carried out in-home testing and customer interviews, before finalising the bold, bright and user-friendly co-branded app.
The final solution is the Alstra app, a real-time user information app that enables users to see their energy production and consumption, total financial savings and environmental contribution, in real-time.
Curious on how we did it? Check out the case video and read the full case on our webpage https://hubs.la/H0MLw060
Case: solar panel app provides unique UX for umeå energi customers With real-time data via the Alstra solar panel app, users can easily follow their savings, energy production and consumption 24/7
Throughout history, the world has made transitions from one source of energy to another. Not only have we made this journey once but several times. We have gone from using animal power to coal to oil and gas, and now we are in the process of electrification by evolving from fossil fuels to renewable energy.
In the following decades, we will see a substantial increase in renewable electricity production and supply, a steep rise in the replacement of combustion engines with electric drives, and a profound transformation of many greenhouse gas-emitting industrial processes. This, however, requires a significant expansion of a more intelligent and much more flexible electricity grid, new clean-tech innovations, and vast implementation of digitalization.

DIGITAL VÄGLEDNING FRIGÖR TID FÖR SJUKSKÖTERSKOR

Vi är oerhört stolta över våra vänner på Knightec och deras skolsamarbete. De senaste 12 åren har de inspirerat mer än 3000 elever till ökat teknikintresse genom sina samarbeten med skolor i utsatta områden. Möjligheten att stötta och coacha elever på Hjulstaskolan gjorde att Knightecs projektledare Kadir Arisoy tillsammans med en kollega startade upp ett samarbete med skolan för några år sedan. Kadir var själv elev på Hjulstaskolan och saknade den typ av stöd han nu ger:
– Det finns elever som är hungriga på att lyckas i livet, men inte har någon att vända sig till. Jag ser mig själv i dessa elever och jag vill att de ska lyckas nå sina mål. Det ger så mycket energi att träffa eleverna. Jag kan inte lämna dem åt sitt öde efter att ha hållit en föreläsning. Jag erbjuder mig själv att vara där när de behöver stöd, som coach, bollplank eller någon att rådfråga, vad än det handlar om. När jag ser deras ögon glänsa till lite extra, när de har snappat upp något vi förmedlat, den känslan är oslagbar.
Vi och våra vänner på Knightec har väldigt många konkreta exempel på hur olikheter berikar och skapar mer hållbara lösningar. Tillsammans är vi starka! En utmaning vi, och många andra företag, står inför är att hitta och attrahera relevant kompetens. Redan idag har vi svårt att hitta all den kompetens vi behöver i Sverige och vi tror att det kommer bli än mer utmanande framöver.

Våra vänner på Knightec fortsätter med skolsamarbeten eftersom att det gör skillnad. Titta gärna på filmen med två av deras stipendiater för några år sedan. Den är fortfarande lika aktuell.
Idag har tjejerna gått vidare till högre studier med ett målinriktat och ambitiöst fokus. Häromdagen blickade en av stipendiaterna tillbaka och sa:
– ”Jag minns tillbaka att det var så frustrerande att inte bli tagen på allvar i den åldern vad det gällde ambitioner. Men sen kom Knightec in i bilden och det var för bra för att vara sant. En rejäl boost var det och det var på så många, många plan. Jag tror inte att ni förstår vilka avtryck ni lämnade hos oss - ni är riktigt duktiga mentorer”.

Want to try out an idea in only one week? Test an hypothesis with real customers? A Design Sprint is a great way to quickly prototype and test ideas. This can be part of a big challenge to meet an organisation’s long-term goals, or something completely different, like a new, innovative idea.
Due to the pandemic situation we all needed to adapt by going digital in our ways of working. At Daresay we had previous experience in working on remote with digital collaboration solutions and pushed ourselves with the challenge to get even better at it. As a result we have a well prepared a Digital Design sprint package to enable remote work with teams in collaboration.
