Summary
David Sjunnesson is a design and innovation leader with 12 years of experience crafting human-centered digital products and services across startups, consultancies, and global enterprises. Based in Malmö, he led IKEA Preowned from sticky notes to a scaled peer-to-peer marketplace—shipping an MVP in three months, rolling out across multiple countries, and helping secure IKEA’s spot on Fast Company’s Most Innovative Companies 2025 list. At IDEO he shaped the interaction design community in Europe while delivering products spanning ESG platforms, AI tools, AR experiences, healthcare and mobility. He combines hands-on making—prototyping hardware, coding and service blueprints—with strategic leadership as a player-coach, and now runs his studio Vitgranen to push purposeful design work. An early teacher and founder, he brings a rare mix of studio craft, organizational influence, and track record of turning messy, systemic problems into scalable offerings.
