Fastned
Fast charging, inspired by nature. Since 2012, Fastned has been building a growing network of bright yellow, nature-inspired fast-charging stations across Europe. Powered by sun and wind, their stations make electric driving easy, reliable, and better for the planet. I have enjoyed my eight months at a company that aligns so well with my own values.

Fast charging, inspired by nature.
Fastned aims to accelerate the transition to electric mobility. They want people to feel confident that they can drive their electric car anywhere, knowing there are enough charging points along the way and that they’ll work seamlessly. During my collaboration with Fastned, I had the opportunity to contribute to this mission by improving the user experience of the Operations dashboard, exploring concepts with the New Business team, and designing new screens for the Fastned app.
Rethink, restructure, and improve the heart of Operations.
My main focus was to rethink, restructure, and improve the heart of Fastned’s operations: Revolt Admin. With three distinct user types, finding common ground was a real challenge—but we managed to create a dashboard that speaks to all their needs. Testing it was refreshingly straightforward, with most users just a few steps away, sometimes even at the next desk.
We laid the foundation for a shared design system.
I once heard someone say that a design system is your future self saying “thanks.” Nerdy? Definitely. But also completely true. At the start, each product had its own separate design system, which made consistency a real challenge. During my time, we laid the foundation for a shared design system—built around a library of Core components and design tokens—that gave product teams a solid starting point to design and develop with only one source of truth.
Spotting new opportunities and bringing bold ideas to life.
The New Business team at Fastned is all about exploring what’s next. They’re the ones spotting new opportunities, forging partnerships, and bringing bold ideas to life. During my time at Fastned, we explored a new charging screen in the app, different membership models, pricing on the public website, and much more.
