The company was founded in 2009 by Design Director Ville Kaisla and Technology Director Mikko Harju. They saw that the best digital products are a seamless combination of design and technology. Managing Director Oscar Salonaho joined soon after. All three are still working at Taiste.
Building a healthy, value-driven culture has been our priority from day one. As partners for our clients and as a workplace, we want to enable and make life a little bit better.
We've always sought to understand motivation and meaning in a human-centric way.
We've been lucky to work with many awesome clients and colleagues over the years. Organic is the name of the game: we've been growing steadily around 20-30% per year, for almost a decade.
Profitability and financial stability enable us to continue on our chosen path. Money is an enabler, not an end in itself.
