agree  asptech: The problem is to find an English expression that is as devoid of meaning as the Swedish original! Maybe "scenario" would come closer to the ubiquitous Swedish "miljö".

showcase scenarios


Explanation:
I thought of it as a combination, as a display and almost like setting a stage.

Could that work?

Example sentence(s):
  • A setting, occasion, or medium for exhibiting something or someone especially in an attractive or favorable aspect

Explanation:
I can't tell if this expression is widely used or not, but in my reference it is used extensively in what seems to be an in-depth discussion of this (or a resembling) subject.

ambience


Explanation:
I understand upplevelsemiljö to mean an environment that makes a person feel and experience the environment in one way or another.
"Ambience" would seem to fit.

As for your particular sentence - "Hon arbetar med upplevelsemiljöer på..." - I would propose: "She works with creating ambiences at..."
