Hello!
My name is Elias Koski. I am a lifelong creator and problem solver, I have been creating and designing digitally since grade school and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon.
I was born in Finland but raised (for the most part) in Bangkok, Thailand. I studied Multimedia Design at the Nordic Multimedia Academy in Kolding, Denmark, after which I lived and worked in Yangon, Myanmar.
Previously I worked as a user interface and experience designer at Nex Labs and before that I briefly created graphics and various other design-work at Synapse Original.
Currently I am studying design leadership and team building at Hyper Island in Stockholm. I am looking for internship opportunities as a part of my studies with a focus on continued development of my experience design skills.
Let's work together! hello@eliaskoski.com
My Tool Set
Design Thinking
I approach my design problems with a systematic approach that helps me estimate my time, align my team, and deliver solutions time and time again. Whether it is a mobile app or a logo design, applying systematic design thinking allows me to tackle complex problems with ease.
UX Research & Strategy
Solid strategy is informed by solid research. By empathising with those I am designing for and understanding the context of the problem, I am able to plan and execute holistic user experience strategies.
UI Design & Usability
From an applications structure, through sketches and wireframes, to the final polished designs, I always keep usability and functionality in mind when developing interface design solutions.
Prototyping & Testing
Confirming assumptions and trying out new features, failing fast and often, whether using paper or high fidelity designs, prototyping is key to ensuring what I design works as intended.
Illustration
Catch your audience's attention, bolster your message, bring a little life to your website or app. Using illustration I can help you deliver your message with style!
Visual Identity Design
Communicate your company's values through contemporary visual design. Using solid design principles and techniques, I can help you create or re-imagine your visual identity to resonate with your desired audience.
