Hello! I'm Selvi. A designer with focus on Service, UX and Interaction design.
I strive to combine the holistic perspective in parallel with the details in my processes. I am often involved in all parts of a process, from insight to implementation, and love exploring new design methods along the way.
Projects in both the private and public sector have given me experience with the development of both physical and digital products and services.
I tackle complex processes, industries and user journeys with a human-centered design approach. I see early prototyping as a way to explore and understand human reactions and actions in order to obtain a better understanding of people's everyday situation and their needs.
