Raphael Grignani was very fortunate to travel a lot a kid and later on lived in different places in Europe and America. These experiences amplified my innate fascination for people and creativity. It is essential for me to understand the many reasons why people like using one over another but also their dreams, desires, and frustrations in order to design relevant and meaningful products or services.

His experience at Nokia ranges from product design, to exploratory human behavioral field research. He have also worked on long-term design concepts such as the Homegrown project where we looked at how environmental and social issues may change mobile device design in the coming years.

He currently leads a multi-disciplinary design team in San Francisco that works with other areas of the business to concept, prototype and build the vision for future user experiences.

Raphael Grignani earned a Master of Arts from the University of Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland in Product and Strategic Design. He joined Nokia in Helsinki in 2002, and currently live and work from San Francisco.
