Hello world!
I'm Stiven Skyrah
Hi, I'm Stiven. I'm a designer living in, Amsterdam, Moscow, Madrid, London and have worked around the world in international multi-disciplinary teams at JP Morgan Chase, Amazon, O2 Telefonica and others. My design process is iterative and research driven with a focus on people-centered design methodology. I have a first class degree in Industrial Design and Technology from Loughborough University one of the top 10 universities for Design & Technology Worldwide (QS World Rankings). I also like cats, make paintings and can read upside down.
Why the name designwith.love?
When you create you may never meet the person that is going to use your creations. You may never know their name and their story or shake their hand, but if you create with love it’s a way of expressing gratitude for humanity. Everyone can feel when something is considered and intrinsically they know when something has been done with care. If you’re doing anything, do it with love.
