About Us
When we say “experienced,” we actually mean “REALLY experienced.” Our designers, product managers, and engineers are the best thinkers, the best innovators, in NYC and Finland.
Who we are
We’re creating an international company that cultivates the different talents and skills associated with great product creation in the locations they thrive.

NYC is our hotbed of creative thinking and design talent.
Oulu, Finland, is our home of technology and world class development.
We blend them together through deep collaboration and cross-pollination to avoid building walls around capabilities and to bond these 2 worlds together that often exist separately. As a result, we’ve cracked the code of creating a truly end-to-end team that can embed themselves in any organization, or augment an existing team, to help kick start progress fast.
Our disciplines
We are made up of highly experienced individuals from a variety of backgrounds that, combined, make for a deeply knowledgable and highly energetic mix that gets results.

Design & Strategy
Our ever growing creative network is cultivated from some of the best design driven organizations such as RG/A, SYPartners, Digitas, and mcgarrybowen. All experienced leaders with a hands-on builder mentality.
Technology & Innovation
Our development expertise is a product of working at forward thinking technology companies like Nokia and OP in Finland, and with individuals that have cultivated deep interest and knowledge in such areas as AI and Machine Vision technologies.
Business & Leadership
Our business is driven from a history in leadership from the world of auto racing. Experience in this deeply team oriented profession has allowed Finlabs to infuse ideas and thinking that help our different disciplines move together, as one.
How we work
We build our teams, that include our clients, outside of confusing organizational structures to limit the influence of legacy knowledge, territorial behaviors, and group-think. We call them Shadow Teams.
Every engagement is crafted differently, but our experience has shown us that projects generally follow a simple repeat process to achieve success and ongoing sustained growth.
1. Bond & Discover
Work directly with key stakeholders to identify and frame the goals.
Identify and understand any brand and technology requirements.
Establish targets and goals.
2. Rapid Creation
Isolate the core team to explore and ideate around the problems defined by immersion or project research.
Rapidly prototype solutions to gauge feasibility and effectiveness.
3. Plan & Prove
Rapidly design and develop fully functioning high fidelity product(s) that can, in turn, be tested with the intended audience to validate the desire and effectiveness of the proposed product.
4. Execute & Learn
Architect a solid foundation to meet performance and scalability needs. Development of any required platform (Web, iOS, Android…)
Ongoing user testing and research to find opportunities for improvement and evolution.
Our Team
We make a point of seeking out the best minds. Every individual is an expert at their chosen specialty, but understands the strength in numbers gained through a tight team, and a deep curiosity to understand our clients' business and apply their knowledge.
