Playful, Curious & Collaborative

I’m Irma Svenningsson, a 24 year old designer from Helsingborg, Sweden with a curious mind and a passion for meaningful design.

Blending industrial design, interaction design and toy design,
I love to challenge the status quo and explore new ways of thinking. For me, design is about optimism, innovation and joy.
I believe the best ideas are born through collaboration, and I approach every project with energy, openness and a smile.
