The Curious Case of Jolla – Working in a World-Class Startup

  • Branding
  • Web Design

Jolla is a Finnish startup offering an alternative mobile OS experience with its gesture-based Sailfish OS, providing a unique challenge in a highly competitive market dominated by major mobile operating systems.

Working at Jolla was an adventure that provided an invaluable experience in rapid prototyping, cross-platform marketing, and continuous brand development. As the Lead Designer, I was responsible for the creative production and planning for both Jolla and Sailfish OS brands. My primary role in the multidisciplinary marketing team was to express Jolla’s values and vision through various marketing channels, working toward our motto: “People powered.”

My day-to-day responsibilities included managing Jolla’s extensive online presence (including websites like jolla.com, sailfishos.org, and blog.jolla.com) and producing assets for global events such as the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and Shanghai. It was exciting to be part of a startup that aimed to disrupt the mobile OS duopoly, and my time at Jolla continues to inspire my passion for working with ambitious tech ventures.
