I’m Triin, a Design Strategist and Lead based in Tartu, Estonia.
My journey as a designer began during the early days of web and mobile startups. Today, my focus lies in consulting, design leadership, and leveraging design strategically across organizations to drive meaningful sustainable change. I recently completed the Design Leadership Program at Park Academy. CV ↓
