Anne Hirvonen (b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary designer focused on product design. She finds her inspiration in everyday life from nature to urban surroundings. As a designer, she strives to constantly develop her skills and her way of thinking. Novel techniques, materials and shapes inspire her while relentlessness and curiosity drive her forward. At the core of Anne’s design ethos has always been the desire to understand the material used as well as possible and to build a creative process around it, also exploring through experimental work.
