  We lead strategic change through execution. Today’s change is characterised by ever-increasing speed, shifting user-values, expanding and overlapping ecosystems that result in an organisations’ need for adaptive solutions. As a result, design is more experimental than ever, but also more precise, lean, and executed at a higher pace. It must have built-in validation and scalability to ensure relevance for the organisation and drive meaning and value for all stakeholders. We lead strategic change through execution.

  Back to Hong Kong, the duties increased as the management of projects became a more dominant part of the work experience, along with concept development from sketches to 3D models, mockups, technical drawings and pre-production prototyping. The projects field is wide as in Stockholm, continuing to shift between research to industrial product design projects, with special focus on user experience.
