Vesa Nilsson thinks first and designs later
"I think first and design later". This philosophy is followed by the designer, Master of Arts Vesa Nilsson, who approaches both jewelry design and manufacturing with passion.
According to Vesa Nilsson, design is a process in which work is done both with the head and the heart: "Only by doing you can give your all - it's thinking with your hands."
"Only by doing can you can give your all - it's thinking with your hands."
