Jabra

2021-22 / Industrial Designer, full-time

Jabra is the worldwide market leader of business communication devices. As one of the first members of Jabra’s in-house Design team, I had responsibility in the development of the design department, the design of consumer electronics, and Jabra portfolio vision work.

For several projects, I was lead designer through initial research, concepting and development for production, working in large multi-disciplinary teams locally and abroad.

Please contact me for further information on my time at Jabra.

At Jabra, I worked on the next generation of professional, personal webcams, and audio equipment including speakerphones and headsets.

Jabra Perform 45. launched in 2022 was one of several products I worked on - including CMF, UX, comfort, branding and DfM.

I was design lead on upcoming webcam products (Panacast 20 shown as the predecessor) and worked closely with CMF designers, Mechanical Engineers and Product Managers, within a wider project team.

I prepared and ran ideation workshops with the Jabra design team.

I prepared and ran cross-disciplinary workshops, to define key experience drivers in initial project phases.

I worked on Jabra's portfolio vision, working with leading design agency Enlisted and providing creative support and direction.

I learnt a lot about current and future ways of working, and used this knowledge to create future-facing experiences and concepts.
