Hi there - and Welcome! 

I am so glad that you have found your way here! My name is Clara Nilsson and I'm a product designer with several years of experience educated at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg. Currently I work as a product designer at Sigma Studios, assigned as UX Lead within R&D Engineering at Volvo Group Digital & Technology Operations.

My previous experience include leading design strategies, driving product development and building design systems for global brands such as Singer and Husqvarna Viking. I have also worked as a Technical Leader for Design & Human Factors at the consultant company Combitech where I strategically drove UX competency development and UX maturity within the company.

About the person Clara Nilsson

In an age of AI-written content and polished LinkedIn profiles, I believe it's more important than ever to reveal the person behind the professional accomplishments. So, here's a glimpse into who I am:

 

Originally from the coastal town of Varberg, I spent two years in London before making Gothenburg my home for the last decade. This coastal upbringing means I'm happiest swimming in the ocean in the summer and relaxing in saunas in the winter. 

​

I have a diverse range of passions and hobbies, including dancing and karaoke with friends, taking my dogs on new walking routes, second-hand shopping, drawing, playing my Stratocaster, reading and writing short stories. I enjoy discussing everything and nothing, practicing pole sports, and balcony gardening. My years in the restaurant industry instilled a deep appreciation for food and wine, resulting in frequent restaurant visits with loved ones. 

 

My curious nature drives my interests in everything from politics, music and history to natural science and culture. I'm a huge dog enthusiast, having studied ethology and dog behavior at university. I also have a desire to contribute, having volunteered for a dog rescue, served as a mentor at PEPP, and currently a new member of RFSU.

I hope this gives you a sense of the person behind the CV.

If my drive for creativity, community, and continuous learning aligns with your vision, let's talk. Give me a ring and let's take it from there.
