Volvo Cars


I began my journey at Volvo Cars in the Design Studio, working with Core HMI and developing the principles for next-generation user interfaces. I then joined the team driving strategy and research around autonomous drive UX, where I contributed to shaping how users interact with future mobility.

Concept development and explorations

Autonomous drive feedback visualization


After a couple of years, I transitioned into the UX Vision group, focusing on long-term strategies. My work centered on Smart System Design, while also exploring new directions in feedback modalities, data visualization, and other forward-looking research initiatives.


Explorative prototyping

Smart system principals and concepts


The last two years I was part of the Car UX Core System team, collaborating closely with system architects and developers on UX principles, system design, and workflows for an upcoming in-car experience. I also took a leading role in the development of in-car focused UI typography.
