Riikka King Email and Phone Number
I’m a hybrid of humanities hacking, design proficiency & business sense specialising in technology-human interactions. I worked as Art Director for over a decade, topped that up with Masters in Techno-Anthropology and have gained extensive experience in Project Management & Consulting. I've also taken my skills further with Service Design, applying design tools and methods creatively and practically.My curiosity and passion for understanding human behaviour drive me to excel in design research and ethnographic research. I uncover human needs, desires, and pain points, discovering patterns and delivering insights that inform the design process and results to business impact. I believe in a design strategy grounded in knowledge, creativity, and a willingness to embrace new technologies. I have a proven track record of leading successful projects, collaborating with cross-functional teams solving problems and innovating on a global scale.My mission: I aim to ensure that products, services, and solutions provide real value, and that responsible innovations benefit humankind. Why go for anything less?Let’s talk more over a coffee!
