STORY &
ORIGINS
Saila Härkki Design is a design agency where innovation meets functionality. My decades of experience in clothing design and product development, I provide expert services that combine technical performance with outdoor, sportswear and urban style aesthetic.
With a strong Nordic heritage and a passion for innovation, I blend technical precision with bold commercial vision. I design with purpose — combining functionality, sustainability, and timeless style for brands that value quality and practical creativity.
When I'm not designing, you can find me outdoors - hiking, jogging or skating. Outdoor life is a source of inspiration, and that’s where the best ideas often born.
