My main focus is design strategy and sustainability. As a design strategist at Zenit I help our clients to develop design strategies and processes ensuring that their new products and services create the maximum value for their customers and users. Sometimes this means developing new ways of working and collaborating within the organisation as well as with external partners and customers/users. I also help clients to develop methods for developing more sustainable and circular design solutions and offerings. I have spent  a lot of my time the last couple of years investigating and exploring what the key challenges and opportunities are for different companies to move towards more circular solutions and business models. I believe that design can be a key enabler here! I also believe that it is urgent to move beyond fine tuning existing solutions towards new design innovation and new business models.I am a trained industrial designer and have worked since 1998 with design and product development, including more than 20 years at Zenit Design. Sustainability has always been a key interest and something I am very passionate about. Broad competence in design, in terms of both consumer and B2B products. Extensive experience in design strategy (developing design strategies and processes, educating organisations, product branding, portfolio strategy, strategic design tools), working with clients like Arjo, Duni, Axis Communications, Sony Mobile, Essity, Earin and Assa Abloy Entrance Systems. In-depth knowledge and a great dedication to creative and innovative processes and I am used to lead creative and strategic workshops and processes.

Listed skills include Product Development, Photoshop, Graphic Design, Creative Direction, and 4 others.
