Honest stories from the heart of Finnish design
Finland is full of brilliant design stories but most of them never get told. This is a space to share the lessons learned: the highs, the hard parts, and everything in between.
Join us for a day of inspiration and networking.
Announced speakers
1–2 more speakers will be announced soon.
What to expect?
Curated talks
Stories from design veterans who work or have worked at companies like Oura, Supercell, Nokia, Qt, Kone, and Kyrö – with insight you can't google.
Space to connect
We’ve reserved time and space for meaningful conversations. No speed networking, just shared curiosity.
One track, shared focus
No FOMO, no choosing between sessions. Everyone gets to experience the same stories together.
Relaxed atmosphere in Suvilahti
The industrial charm of Tiivistämö sets the stage for an intimate and inspiring day.
From designers, for designers
The event is curated by long-time design leaders Lassi Liikkanen and Matias Pietilä. The event brings together people who care about thoughtful, human-centered design – and stories that go deeper than case studies.
Helsinki Design Week companion event
This event is an official partner of Helsinki Design Week, taking place 5–14 September 2025.
