Raphael Grignani

Raphael Grignani I am a designer. Simply. I work in a multi-disciplinary team that explores new experiences and makes them tangible and meaningful. I talk a lot, I ask a lot of questions, I like to learn, I find people fascinating, and I value creativity above else.

My experience at Nokia ranges from product design with S60 and Lifeblog to exploratory human behavioural field research with Jan Chipchase to strategic design case studies with A View of the Future and Remade/Homegrown.

I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Product Design from E.N.S.A.A.M.A, Paris, France and a Master Degree from the University of Art and Design, Helsinki, Finland in Product and Strategic Design. I joined Nokia in Helsinki in 2002, and currently live and work from San Francisco.
