I make overwhelming situations feel calm. By tuning into people’s lives and creating order inside complex systems, I design experiences that are clear, quiet, and built to last over time.

This was a tricky topic, with a lot of technical constraints and several engineering teams involved.

In my role as Product Owner for Driver Information, I have really appreciated working with Tove on the UX side. One thing I have particularly valued is how she brings the wider UX perspective into our technical discussions. Our discussions have often been about finding solutions that work not only for the individual function, but also within the overall interaction framework and across different platforms.

Tove is someone I would trust with any project. She will dig into it, leave no stone unturned, manage the relationships and interests with the stakeholders and make sense of the complexities that arise, connect the dots and deliver great results with the user in focus. She takes great responsibility and has the strength of having been both a user researcher and a designer and has thorough knowledge in both fields.
