I’m happiest when I’m exploring
Whether I’m ski touring, running through Stockholm, finding inspiration in interiors and fashion, or testing a new design tool. I’m naturally curious and enjoy combining creativity with function.
As a volunteer Frontrunner, I lead group runs and help create a community where everyone feels welcome, regardless of pace or experience. This interest in people also shapes how I work. I enjoy getting close to users, understanding their behaviour, and bringing structure to unclear problems. My background in engineering and computer science helps me connect design with technology and collaborate closely with developers.
At Volvo Cars, I have grown more confident, taken greater ownership, and led design through a major rebrand and design system transition. I’m also exploring how AI can support ideation, rapid prototyping, and research documentation. I want to use these tools thoughtfully, reducing repetitive work to create more time for thinking, exploring, and designing.
A word from my colleuges
-
" Her empathy has allowed her to build solid relationships across teams, bringing together people with different expertise to think about the user. She's thoughtful, attentive to detail, and truly cares about everything she works on. She has a very sharp mind and understands complex scenarios very quickly. On top of that, when a problem comes up, she can quickly see a solution. Fanny has a broad knowledge of methods, so she knows which tools to use to reach a solution in the best way possible with the resources available."
Midori Motoki
Senior UX Designer @VolvoCars -
"Fanny was one of the senior designers on my team when I was leading Car Service at Volvo Cars. She's a brilliant Product Designer, and where she truly stands out is UX: shaping how people experience a product. She goes deep into a problem and stays relentlessly user-centric. A great example is the Parts Readability project she led, allowing technicians to read and track the parts they change. She drove the user interviews and usability tests herself, then kept refining the experience and simplifying the design, aiming for the speed necessity of the project and seamless usability for technicians. What makes her rare is that she combines depth with pace. She moves fast without losing precision. Any team would be lucky to have her. I'd work with her again in a heartbeat."
Felipe Sbravate
Design Manager EX @VolvoCars -
" I had the pleasure of working closely with Fanny for around 1.5 years on Unicon at Volvo Cars, where I was a Software Engineer and Technical Lead and Fanny was our Senior UX Designer. Fanny's critical thinking is one of her strongest qualities. She consistently challenged assumptions by asking “Why?” before jumping into solutions. This often helped the team look at problems from a different perspective, and I personally learned a lot from this mindset.Fanny is a resilient, responsible, and highly collaborative UX professional who brings structure and clarity to complex problems. I genuinely enjoyed working with her and would highly recommend her to any team looking for someone who combines strong UX skills with critical thinking, ownership, and excellent collaboration."
Arghun Musanejad
Senior software engineer @VolvoCars -
"Her biggest strength is the ability to jump into a new space and plan what she needs in order to start collaborating with the product team. Whether is mapping a journey, doing interviews or assessing the existing experience, she self-manages her work to start delivering results. She always pushed towards collaboration amongst product, engineering in design, keeping an eye on design quality in the development phase defining ways of working that help bring clarity towards engineers. She was always open to step in to support in different initiatives, whether it's a vision co-ideation with AI prototyping or a 3D tool interface facelift. Fanny is a great team member taking and implementing feedback and supporting her teammates whenever necessary."
