Hi, I'm Mikk, a designer in Tallinn, Estonia. I believe that design should solve everyday problems holistically.

My approach combines strategic thinking with customer focus to create flows and services that feel calm and integrate naturally into people's lives. As an avid cyclist and systems thinking student, I'm fascinated by human-scale cities and sustainable futures.

When I'm not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, exploring places by bike and learning to sail. I'm passionate about drinking good coffee and always have a book nearby.

Portrait of Mikk Lemberg

I'm a designer who works well with uncertainty and creates tools that make work easier for people and businesses.

I love solving tough creative problems. My curiosity drives me to explore different areas and push what's possible with design, creating solutions that work for both users and business goals.

I ask the obvious questions that others might skip to find the simplest solution that actually matters.

Education

2019 — 2021

Interaction design, MA at Estonian Academy of Arts

In my master's thesis, I wanted to find out how libraries can be made into attractive, inspiring and collaborative places for lifelong learning.

Service Design, MA at University of Tartu Pärnu College

Didn't graduate but passed all the classes.

2011 — 2015
