The Drive Behind
Volvo EX90
The Drive Behind is an unscripted design documentary series that unveils the creative process and human design decisions behind the Volvo EX90. In the series, we meet Volvo design leads in their own creative spaces and gain access to never before seen parts of the Volvo design labs.
Deep dive episodes on Sight, Touch and Sound were also created, exploring how the EX90 is the ultimate sensorial experience. A photography series also celebrated Volvo's design team and culture for use on selected channels.

Art + Creative director with experience across agency, editorial and in-house environments, working at the intersection of visual storytelling, brand expression and creative strategy with a 360 approach.
My work moves between the monumental and the everyday: from defining larger moments of brand expression to shaping the daily content, systems and visual decisions that build recognition over time. Whether developing a film, campaign, editorial world or longer-term creative vision, I’m interested in how each touchpoint can serve a wider strategy while still feeling distinctive, crafted and emotionally resonant.
