I started of my career in the music industry, managing backstage areas at concerts and festivals. Since then, I've worked and explored different industries, businesses and roles. Today, I'm a design strategist and researcher in tech. My multidisciplinary background has equipped me with skills in business strategy, research, UX, service design, management and facilitation. Specialist in design research and experience in a wide range of qualitative and quantitative methods throughout the product and service life cycle. 

 

Having worked with everything from rockstars, executives, academics, developers, creatives, I am an expert in collaborating and communicating with a wide range of stakeholders. I have lived in three different countries and travelled through four continents, which has taught me a lot about people and cultures. These experiences and connections are tremendously valuable in my profession as it enables me to empathise with a wide range of users. This is my core strength as a designer.

​

I enjoy working in cross-functional teams and side by side business/project/product owners, designers, developers, analysts and beyond. Preferably in an iterative manner to bring new and improve existing products and services to the market. I believe culture eats strategy for breakfast and solid teamwork with the ability to collaborate is the key to the project and organisational success. My toolbox includes ways to improve collaboration using feedback, reflection, team and group development theory.

​

I'm always open for new opportunities to create a positive impact on people and the planet.

Delivery Director

@ TietoEvry

"I am so glad we came across a standout young talent like Susanne. I had the pleasure of working with her for three years at NetRelations, collaborating on several strategy and design projects. Susanne is driven by continuous improvement and she fits well in environments where she gets the opportunity to influence. I was particularly impressed by Susanne's ability to always lead our project team to discover deeper insights and ideas. And of course her commitment to gender equality work within the IT industry! Susanne is a forward-thinking spirit and no matter how tense a project or a meeting, she always made sure everyone left with a lot of energy!"

"Not only a keen advocate of putting the customer first, Susanne is also a champion of equality and sustainability. She's an amazing communicator, an empathetic leader, and an all round great person to work with. I was fortunate enough to spend time collaborating with Susanne on a social entrepreneurship project, she helped motivate and drive the team and solve any problems which arose in a calm and effective manner. Since then me and Susanne both became engrossed in the world of business and design. We've regularly exchange ideas around circular business models, sustainable and social entrepreneurship. If she's on your team, you're on the winning team."
