We design for the target audience
Initially an island so small, it got its name from a pea (Hernesaari is Finnish for Pea Island). The island's ground was long covered with only one building, the Henry Ford Automotive Factory. Today, the factory is our home and part of mainland Helsinki, making visiting us by bike, tram or car a lot easier. You can always take a boat, too.
'Aivan!' is what our clients often shout out when we reach the sweet spot. It is a Finnish word meaning exactly or precisely. At Aivan, we help companies see and feel future scenarios of their business strategy and find ideal solutions to transform their offering into reality.
