Interaction Design / AI / Research

Sweden

Explainable AI for prehospital care

Exploring how explainable AI can support understanding and trust when dynamic risk predictions are integrated into safety-critical healthcare systems.

Ambulance IT — “Smarter support for critical decisions”: an AI-powered decision support tool for ambulance and emergency care. A tablet shows a trauma patient's vital signs and an AI decision support panel with a 78% moderate-to-high risk prediction, the key factors behind it and a missing variable.

UX Research / Human-Centred Design / Service Design

Sweden · Collaborative project

Public Transport & the Perception of Safety

How do passengers decide whether a journey feels safe enough to take? Through research and testing, our team of six uncovered what shapes that perception and turned those insights into a colour-coded safety score that follows passengers across the entire journey — from app to stop to bus.

Public Transport & the Perception of Safety — a multi-touchpoint safety-information system for Gothenburg’s public transport: a station departure board, two phones showing the Västtrafik To Go app with low, middle and high risk of transmission for each trip and a route map, a Västtrafik bus, and a stop map.

02How I Think

I look for the structure inside complexity.

My work connects research, interaction design and service thinking. I use evidence to understand what is actually difficult, then shape the product, flow or system around what people need to do.

  1. 01 / Understand

    Find the real source of friction.

  2. 02 / Connect

    See the experience across touchpoints.

  3. 03 / Clarify

    Turn complexity into usable structure.

03About

A designer interested in how people understand systems.

I’m a UX & Interaction Designer based in Gothenburg. My work spans research, interaction design, service design and complex systems.

I care about making experiences simple without making them simplistic — useful, accessible and purposeful, with enough character to feel human.
