During his later work for Nokia Design Strategy and his studies at Aalto University in Helsinki he started to link his expertise in product design with the fields Service Design and Interaction Design.

Together with Nokia Research Center Sebastian Frederick Müller developed design concepts for the interaction between user and intelligent products and services.The smart companion concept was investigating technological possibilities and linking them with user needs to meaniful scenarios and designs interacton.

Before he has established mueller goranko design consultancy, Sebastian worked as a research assistant at Köln International School of Design (KISD) from 2009-2010, where he was supervising multidisciplinary cooperation projects between design institutions, such as Konstfack, and the Politecnico di Milano. Fruits of this work are awarded concept design projects, such as Piezo Shower (2nd Prize Salone Satellite Award 2010).
