 Jeremiah Tesolin specializes in bringing together brand, retail and design skills within a business context. His professional design experience started with freelance product design work in Canada, The Netherlands and Finland. During this time he focused on redefining the identity of objects.

Highlights of these years include designing the global graphic identity for Nokia retail flagship stores, refreshing the Nokia Tune, creating and managing Nokia’s spatial and audio identities, and managing internal Art Director teams. Whether it’s a product, experience, retail store or sound Jeremiah believes that designing the identity is critical in every project in order for people to identify with the final outcome.

He spent the first fifteen years of his life playing music, racing as a cyclist or working in his dad’s woodworking shop where he eventually became interested in design.
