Bio
Antti Kujala
Timo is a highly talented design professional who has several brilliant products under his belt. He was the lead designer for global successes like Suunto Ambit Sapphire, co-inventing a new product category of premium lifestyle sports watches, and he was behind many of the Suunto products at the time. Later, Timo was leading the industrial design at Suunto, successfully transferring his skills as a designer to his team and delivering excellent results. His talent was well received in the organisation. I enjoyed the wit and talent of Timo over the 8 years we worked together and I can happily recommend him to any role where excellent eye for aesthetics and an ability to drive solutions to mass production are required.

One of the ways I look at seniority of design talent is how well they work together with marketing function. Every single conversation that I had with Timo led to moments of inspiration, insight and beauty - improving the work we did at marketing and driving results that mattered to business. Timo is not only a designer, he's a senior design leader with exceptional talent to work cross-functionally and drive results that impact the whole organisation. I'm looking forward when we can work together again and can recommend him for senior and executive design roles without any hesitations.

Timo is a world-class talent: both confident and humble in his skills. He has the rare capability of being able to create designs that are both inspirational and realistic at the same time. The form follows function but in beautiful ways. Tight deadlines and often changing technical constraints do not stress him out. He's also a great team player, giving his insights to other team members and working well with others. It's super easy for me to recommend him equally for design and design management type of roles.
