Working at Mima
Design that connects us
Our value is in our people. We take individual responsibility and can work autonomously. We have flexibility to work how we need to in order to do our best. Work is important but it’s not all there is to life. We keep a balance. We find meaning and purpose in our work making things out there better through good design.
