Talitha joined Spark as an industrial designer. She brings with her a specialization in the medical field, with a strong focus on understanding the user.
How did you find your way to Spark?
“My strength lies mainly in understanding the user. I see myself as a bridge between the user and the final product. When you truly understand the user, the design steps naturally fall into place.
Over the past four years, I’ve done a lot of user research. By listening carefully to what users experience and need, you can define what a product should do. That makes a product not only functional but also meaningful. Still, I missed the creative and technical execution, the actual design work. That’s why I wanted to join a design agency, where I can translate insights from user research into ideas, prototypes, and tangible products.
My choice for Spark was very deliberate. Spark excels in the functional development of products, not just in the early concept phase, but also in the technical detailing and realization. How do you make a product sustainable, reliable, and truly successful, both in the short and long term? That’s something I want to contribute to and learn from.”
How were you welcomed at Spark?
“Very warmly and openly. The team is incredibly approachable, no question is too small or too strange to ask. Everyone encourages you to keep asking, to stay curious and critical. That attitude helps us improve both ourselves and our work.”
