Hi there–you are browsing the old Nordkapp website. New one will be out soon!
Thanks for visiting our brand spanking new website. This is a work in progress, an experiment without a version number.

In order to fulfill our promise of transparency, we here at Nordkapp are participating in the idea of Weeknotes.

Your Background Ideally, the person we are looking for is someone who is, by nature, very comfortable with social and digital media. A digital native, if you will.

1. Design as a process In 2006, the UK’s Design Council published their seminal paper on Transformation Design.
