Therese Gylfe, sound designer for film and media

Why did you choose to apply here in particular?

– I’ve loved making films ever since I was little, which led me to move to Stockholm to study film. At Kulturama, I was introduced to sound design and realised that this was the right path for me. Film sound is so incredibly creative and can change the way you experience a story. When I applied to SKH, I didn’t really think I’d get in, but I did!

How did you find your time at university?

– Very creative and inspiring. I met people who are now both my closest friends and the people I collaborate with most professionally. I learnt an incredible amount, not least through working closely with my class. The interaction between us students was a big part of my education and something I value very highly.

What did you do straight after graduating, and what are you doing now?

– During my final semester, I worked part-time at Chimney, where I was hired after graduating. Today, I freelance as a sound designer and work mainly in film. And in 2026, together with Tove Lidman – with whom I studied film sound at SKH – and Ulrika Akander, I also received a Guldbagge Award for Best Sound Design.
