As a Strategic Designer, I guide and lead cross-functional teams to deliver innovative, user-centered solutions that drive growth and business transformation. My expertise covers the entire strategic design process, from discovery and ideation to prototyping and launch.Key areas of focus include:* Applying Human-Centred Design principles to ensure every solution is rooted in deep user insights and addresses real-world challenges* Translating complex projects into concrete project roadmaps, selecting appropriate methodology, tools, and processes for each process phase.* Leading the end-to-end design process, from early-stage discovery and ideation to prototyping, testing, and full-scale implementation* Consulting and Guiding clients through digital innovation journeys, identifying high-impact opportunities, and driving new features and opportunities.* Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams—management consultants, product managers, and tech experts—to deliver impactful digital products and services* Facilitating ideation sessions and creative workshops to co-create and refine solutions with clients (e.g., Problem Framing, Product Discovery, and various other co-creation sessions)* Designing and validating concepts through user testing, ensuring desirability, viability, and feasibility* Responsible for extending our design offering to our clients through the development of new formats (problem framing, design sprints, design strategy, and future exploration)* Developing compelling decks of research, strategies, and concepts, and presenting them to clients often C-level.* Training and guidance of junior designers including tailor-made design courses within our in-house design academy.I thrive in dynamic and ambiguous environments, consistently driving value through design. My approach is rooted in clarity, creativity, and commitment to delivering results that meet user needs and business objectives.

As a Service Designer, I create seamless, user-centered services that enhance customer experiences and drive business outcomes through a research-driven approach.I develop user-centered design strategies and service definitions using research through design, participatory design, and living lab formats, ensuring services meet real-world needs.I create service blueprints, journey maps, and touchpoint analyses to optimize service delivery and align user needs with business goals.I conduct ethnographic studies, stakeholder interviews, and co-creation workshops to gather insights and develop actionable outputs like personas, service models, and frameworks.I translate client strategy into concepts and prototypes, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to bridge gaps between strategy, design, and implementation.I guide clients through presentations, workshops, and prototyping, ensuring alignment with both user expectations and business objectives.I facilitate ideation workshops and design sprints to foster collaboration and innovation, refining concepts through testing and validation.I create project proposals tailored to client needs, combining customer insights with strategic service design solutions.Using tools like Figma, Miro, and Adobe Creative Suite, I prototype and iterate on concepts, ensuring practical and user-centric implementation.

As part of the unit of integrated product development and design at KTH, I have worked on the research project HITS (Sustainable and Integrated Urban Transport System) a large project initiated by SCANIA spanning different industries, the government, and academia.The research focused on:How should smart, sustainable city hubs be designed? These will be both fixed and mobile solutions. In addition, what are the requirements for automation, and what type of infrastructure is needed by the different hub concepts?In cooperation with all the stakeholders, I have been responsible for researching the relevant problem spaces to create pragmatic and visionary experience and service solutions that improve and transform human experiences and outcomes.-Independently plan long-term research projects including research activities, tests, resources, and collaboration partners.-Independently research and explore existing work in the form of extensive literature research, benchmarking, and mapping of existing solutions. -Generating clear and comprehensible output of complex research of visualizations, system maps, service blueprints, user flows, user journeys design fiction artifacts as well as regular presentations for collaborative project partners and faculty members. -Developing innovative, and deployable service and experience concepts based on research and data that focus on the challenges and opportunities of the project scope. -Designing and Testing the developed concepts in various forms with stakeholders and the public through designed experiments, workshops, and living labs. -Creating academic output of the research and experimentation results in the form of academic papers and prototypes. -Supporting the pedagogical efforts in our department as a teaching assistant in various courses within design such as Design research methodologies, service design, and research through design.
