Nokia

Global research and design

From 2009 to 2010 Candy worked at Nokia, where she was a design specialist in their headquarters in Helsinki. For a year and a half she worked with a small design team on the topic of mobile transactions. She conducted ethnographic field research and translated people’s needs and behaviors into proposed services and business models. It was meaningful work and she met many people in many places who made her think differently. She also worked closely with a group of mahtava people including John Evans, Michiel Terlouw, Jan Chipchase, Josephine Gianni, Johan Frössén, Phil Lindberg, Adam Greenfield, and Michael Davis-Burchat, and original team Felice Mancino, Andreea Chelaru, Harri Wikberg, and Duncan Lamb. A bunch of down-to-earth, hilarious, and talented people all sitting at the same cafeteria table. She had to follow her heart into artier territory, but her time at Nokia made her a better person.
