testimonial Jeroen

Fran created a successful design when it mattered most. Launching a unique product like The NEXI Industries "Solution" pedalboard and its click-in guitar effect pedals needed to be a first-time hit as we needed to claim the new market before any potential copycats could join.
And what a success it was! Winning two international design awards and numerous top-reviews from the music media proved our strategy right.
With her proactive style and exceptional design sensibility she not only delivers great results but is also fun to work with. I highly recommend Fran and her studio when you want to make products with character!

testimonial Jonne

‘I had the great opportunity to work with Franziska on some of the Nokia Lumia products and concepting projects. But biggest impact she made was on her work with Nokia Lumia 1020. She drove the design process from the first concepts to final product with R&D Team in Tampere – Finland. Talented Designer!’
