The finalists for the Service Design Global Conference awards have just been announced, so we thought that it would be a good time to catch up with one of last year's award nominees to hear about their project and how they benefited from participating in thew awards.
In this episode we talk to Andy Pattichis and Pinja Piipponen from Hellon, the design an innovation consultancy. They tell us about their project helping farmers navigate the decisions that balance crop yields and carbon footprints to drive better outcomes for a complex partnership ecosystem.
Andy and Pinja also talk about how participating in the awards has helped them deepen their relationship with their client, the crop nutrition company Yara, whilst also giving them an fantastic case study that's driving new sales with new clients. The project also won a Fast Company Innovation by Design Award, giving rise to Hellon being hails as the "surprising middle man" of Innovation.
We also spend time discussing which Moomin best represents Service Designers. If you disagree.... and I'm sure that you will, why not try the "Which Moomin Are You" test and post your results to the SDN UK instagram account.
