Gröhn

I'm finishing my Master of Arts degree in Industrial Design at the University of Lapland. My minors are Creative technology, Service design and Arts. Currently based in Rovaniemi, Finland.
 
My design philosophy: Design has to imrove life.

As cliché as it may sound, the task is to build bridges between innovation and everyday life, as well as between technology and genuine need.


Through my education, I'm primarily a user-centered designer. I strive to create something new and surprising that is both insightful and comprehensible.


While the focus of design may be on a single product, it is always part of a greater whole. This idea is reflected in my work, from the presentation images that aim to tell a broader story to the value choices I make in pursuit of a responsible outcome.

In my studies and as a research assistant I've worked with various themes including calm computing, traditional furniture design, service design, integrated electronics and more. Check out my portfolio!


In addition to design I do photography and all sorts of different projects.
