She is of Finnish descent, as both her parents were originally from Finland.;[6] and she has resided in California since 2004[7]

Swede worked as a computer sales representative in Sweden and later on as a glamour model before moving into adult films.[7] She initially only performed in girl–girl scenes,[8] but made her hardcore boy–girl debut in the 2005 video School of Hardcore by the studio AntiInnocence Video, with whom she was previously a contract performer.[9]

She has received a 2009 AVN Award nomination for Web Starlet of the Year,[10] and a 2009 XBiz Award nomination for Web Babe/Starlet of the Year.[11] In 2010, she made her first mainstream film appearance, a cameo in the comedy The 41-Year-Old Virgin Who Knocked Up Sarah Marshall and Felt Superbad About It with comedian/actor Bryan Callen, formerly of MADtv fame.
