Wild imagination. Talkative. Using lots of verbal, visual and body language.
I am Shanfan.

An ambitious designer who aims to integrate marketing and user insights into product
development. Having had cross-fields experience in communication design and industrial
design - the former closely related to marketing and the latter to R&D, I saw the inability of an external design consultant to take sufficient responsibility to influence the industrial chain.

Therefore I joined Senseg Oy, a technology startup company. As the only in-house designer I assist the CTO together with the R&D team to design the whole-package product concepts, and also with the CMO to shape the business strategy and product line.
