About me
My name is Sara Carlstedt, I am a driven, pragmatic and value centric person. I come from Sweden, the land of "lagom". In all my work there is a structured process with a holistic overview to always see all the moving parts slowly coming together. I have worked with strategic change in different ways since 2011. Brand development, graphic design, event planning, and coordination. I have experience in several fields. Fashion, sales, gastronomy, telecom and customer service. I am now looking for a new place to create possibilities, find new friends and lead the change. “Technology does not change the world, people do” -Sara Carlstedt 2019 "Sara is a creative vigorous vortex that gets things done and won't back down for any challenge. She helped us with scoping, defining, researching product ideas and worked with our company culture from a humanist perspective. I believe that Sara does not do anything at 50% or half baked. It's 150% and 250km/h or not at all. " Multiple projects in parallel is a must and a good fit for a leading team role. -Tomas Sareklint 2019

    Forecast - personal finance automatedUtilizing the same technology and legislation as Pre/Cut (PSD2). Instead of creating what is essentially a bank and for a small market I wanted to help people make smarter decisions based on their own data.

    ALVA - 3D printing in personalized jewelry designAlva is a way to create personalized jewelry unique to a person and have that 3D printed (using additive manufacturing) and drop shipped directly to the consumer.

  • EY Disruption Lab / Hyper Island
    EY Disruption Lab / Hyper IslandWe created different teams that each had a part of the user experience or the user journey. We worked with the 5E UX model to define and structure our work. We incorporated “the business canvas” to make sense of the feasibility of our work. I was part of the engagement group and we did massive research on both how workspace needs to be, feel and look to create the right circumstances for ideas and creativity to happen. We looked at the hole idea of a maker/worker space in a holistic way. We want
  • Case study Milou
    Case study MilouThe amazing local agency Milou asked us to help them find new coworkers. Team PowerHouse was up to the task! We did a deep dive in to Milou themselves and in to the digital media industry and found that finding the right people was dang near impossible! But resourceful and cunning as we are, we found the cracks in the system and jumped straight in to see if we could make a difference.
