Maria's entrepreneurial journey in Stories of the Creatives

Maria's entrepreneurial journey in Stories of the Creatives

Östensson Design Studio is the company profiled in the latest episode of Stories of the Creatives. The series presents the people and stories behind the brand and gives us an insight into what it means to be an entrepreneur in the artistic, cultural and creative industries.

Maria Östensson is driven by creating sustainable and well thought-out indoor environments. The company is currently in an establishment phase with its sights set on the European market, but its visions go beyond that.

Take part in Maria's story, and a number of other Umeå-based entrepreneurs' journeys, in eXpression Umeå's mini-series "The Story of the Creatives".
