Liisa Puolakka

Liisa Puolakka is a director of research and strategy at ChauhanStudio, a boutique industrial design practise. She is former head of Nokia’s global brand identity. When Michiel Maandag, a colleague during her time at Nokia, got in touch to suggest writing a book together, she jumped at the opportunity. She is allergic to marketing jargon and complex models, always driven to find a different, unique angle to things – like this no-nonsense brand book for businesses. A fashion designer by degree, she illustrates for fun. Liisa is Finnish and lives in London with her husband and two daughters.
