Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolJens Hedqvist is a senior front-end/design hybrid with 15+ years crafting web experiences and 11 years in senior roles, currently shaping tech, product and design at Volvo Cars. He blends hands-on front-end and design-system expertise with leadership in tech strategy, co-creation and accessibility, having led teams across consultancy and product contexts (Futurice, Daytona, itch). Skilled in full-stack prototyping, UX research and mentoring, he frequently moves between code, design and people functions and now prefers to focus more on strategy, design and people than day-to-day coding. Notably, he has a track record of embedding developers into design processes and championing DEI and accessibility initiatives, making him a pragmatic advocate for inclusive, well-governed product teams. Based in Stockholm, he prefers digital outreach over unknown phone calls—DM or email works best.
