Work by Kim

Hello!

I’m Kim Stenbäck, a 34-year-old marketing and design professional with 10+ years of experience in the digital field. In my work I emphasize detailed, high-class design, with emphasis on a good user experience and added value for the target group and the client.

At the moment I’m working as a Creative Director for Taivas. Before joining Taivas I worked as a Planner for Fruugo, the biggest start-up in Finnish history and as an Art Director for Valve Branding, chosen as the best creative agency in Scandinavia in 2005.

I’ve worked with a wide range of clients. To mention a few; Nokia, Audi, Finnair, Suunto, Tapiola, UPM and Kauppalehti among others. During my career I’ve won several awards and received honorary mentions. One worth mentioning is "Drunk, You're A Fool", which won the “Best online campaign in Scandinavia” -prize at SIME Stockholm in 2007.

One of my strengths is good team working skills. By guiding and motivating each team member to excel themselves, every project gives something new. As a person I’m considered reliable, versatile and easy to get along with. I also have a very high work morale.

When not at work, I spend as much time as possible with my family. Going to the summer cottage, watching movies, playing guitar or hitting the slopes for some downhill skiing is also prime time action for me.

Thanks for stopping by! If you find my work of interest – email or call me at +358 400 567 457.

I've been lucky to have the opportunity to work closely with and learn from Kim both at Valve and at Fruugo. Kim's design skills are world class and he is one of the most hard working colleagues you can find. While always paying attention to the details and facing challenges
with passion, he knows how to encourage and motivate the team to aim one step higher. I have enjoyed and had tons of fun working with him!

Linda Marttala

Graphic designer at Fruugo

Kim is one of the most talented visual designers
I've ever worked with. He's a
good teamworker and better yet, great with the client. Don't let his passion for perfection nor his strong headed personality scare you, he never missed a deadline under my supervision. I'd work
with Kim again on any given sunday, but until then I gladely recommend Kim for any design agency on the look for true visual talent.
