Forecast / CMF / Editorial

Skovånd is a multi-disciplinary, locally-owned design studio. We address forecasting, CMF (color, materials, finish), brand/editorial story and space design.

Skovånd's design process is radial, not linear. Applying pressure from the periphery of an insight or trend and drawing in toward a central idea.

Our clients seek to understand trends and clarify insight to create emotional connection in their products and places.

Our Danish name translates as “forest spirit” and our designs emphasize human’s implicit connection to nature and the rhythms in seasonality.

 

With more than 20 years experience, Skovånd’s founder, Jensie, has designed for IKEA, Nike and Better Homes and Gardens. Her projekts received accolades from AdAge, FastCompany and Vanity Fair. She’s formally trained in both design and business, but will be the first to tell you her best education came from her entrepreneurial family, a 5,000 foot hike into and out of the Grand Canyon and snowy mountain crashes… a lot of them.

To be more here we must increase our awareness of who was before us.

 

We acknowledge we are on the unceded territories of the Confederated Tribes of Warm Springs, Grand Ronde and Klamath Nations. We thank them for their stewardship of this land and strive to work in partnership as we create belonging for all.
