Thanks for visiting our brand spanking new website. This is a work in progress, an experiment without a version number. Things will change and evolve over time once we figure out what we want to do with this thing. One thing’s for sure—calling this a beta would be just lazy. We don’t wanna be like that, do we? "
Floating fish, design reviews, service design and the future of television.
by Kate Whelan Interaction Designer
Last week Tia and Kate hopped over to Berlin to present research and participate in a client workshop for an ongoing project. The research period was five weeks long and the main challenge lay in condensing the information gathered from ten interviews (which spawned twenty hours of recordings and 150 pages of transcript).

Mystery shopping, state of education and boom!
by Teppo Kotirinta Principal Designer
Last week I was in the Metropolia Polytechnic to spar students of an innovation course. Another person with me from the “real life entrepeneur / business side” was Perttu Tolvanen, an independent CMS expert and consultant.
Lots of research interviews, tablets and some augmented reality.
by Teppo Kotirinta Principal Designer
Women of Nordkapp Kate and Tia have been interviewing people for one very secret project recently. According to them they’ve had a good time sitting in cafés and talking to some very enthusiastic people. Sometimes design work rules, huh? Kate says that Tia has made research interviews into an artform, and that she’s been learning [...]

Daddy's back, things of national importance and getting shortlisted in IxD Awards.
by Teppo Kotirinta Principal Designer
Hoy, who’s-your-daddy is back. After having a second baby in the family, I’m back from some luxurious paternity leave time that Finland has to offer. Actually, I’ve been back for some time now, but getting back to grips with weeknotes is apparently a step harder now that one’s sleep time is drastically cut, again. Nevertheless, [...]
Another weeknote, still filling in for Teppo. This time more about reinvention, failing, student visits and public speaking.
by Sami Niemelä Creative Director, Nordkapp
We’ve been doing quite a lot of interesting bits and pieces. First, we did a bit of a facelift to our own work. A large web service, actually one of the largest in Finland in terms of content, launches soon after being hidden in corporate pipes for a while. There were some accessibility concerns we [...]
In this weeknote: sensors, mapping, tablets, a baby, aeroplanes, Las Vegas, and so forth.
by Sami Niemelä Creative Director, Nordkapp
Whew. What a few weeks. Last Monday, Teppo + Laura got their second baby — a beautiful girl — and everything’s been a bit crazy ever since. Warm heartfelt congrats from the whole office! The saddest bit of news from the past few weeks is definitely the death of Steve Jobs. It’s fair to say [...]
We launched Urbanflow Helsinki website, made it to Computer Arts magazine and met some elders.
by Teppo Kotirinta Principal Designer
Oopsie, two weeks passed since last weeknote, but such is life. Instead in the meantime there was a blog post about the newly opened Urbanflow Helsinki website. Urbanflow, as you might know, is a joint effort of Nordkapp and Urbanscale. Together we envision an operating system for cities. If you’ve somehow managed to miss this, [...]
