Creative technologist and innovation strategist based in Gothenburg, Sweden. I help startups and innovators turn ambitious ideas into successful products by refining the user journey and ensuring adoption throughout the process.
My background is in interaction design, cognitive science and entrepreneurship. I worked at Arduino as a user experience researcher and educational technology specialist, and I'm now studying for an MSc in Entrepreneurship and Business Design at Chalmers University of Technology.

- Vision and strategy: defining what makes a product matter and aligning the whole product journey around it, with sprint workshops that keep teams moving.
- Usability and adoption: designing with care for real people, using cognitive science and iterative testing, so products aren't just used but loved.
- Integration and aesthetics: bridging physical and digital with thoughtful, simple and desirable design that feels natural to use.
