Hi,
my name is Gražina. I am an industrial designer with interests in consumer electronics design, product design art and graphic design. I'm a multi-disciplinary person and I am my best in team work. In the past two years I've been working as an Executive Director of Lithuanian Design forum and I recently resigned due to a decision to go back to hands-on design and on less design management and promotion of Lithuanian design itself. Before that I have been having Industrial Design internships (Sweden, Lithuania) and I am currently working as a freelance designer & gathering experiences in technology and design companies.
My design process mostly starts from quick&dirty prototypes. I find it as the best language to express and generate innovative, new ideas and that's simply how my mind works.
I currently seek to join a project as an industrial designer, be a part of an inspiring group of people who generate innovative ideas, create and develop long-lasting, intuitive products & services.
I am currently open to new opportunities.
