    • Creative future oü

      Jan 2010 - Jan 2012
      Co-founder

      Creative Future OÜ was founded in 2010 with the aim to develop and market innovative business solutions. The company’s first project will introduce an innovation in the clothing retail market – an electronically-equipped fitting room called IMAGIO. Our new photo and web system makes purchasing clothes a truly attractive process for the store’s customer. IMAGIO creates the opportunity of taking photos in the fitting room, viewing and comparing them on an LCD-screen, saving for later viewing at home or sharing the photos on the Internet. The IMAGIO system thus enables you to ask for advice online from friends or parents about the clothes just tried on and even update your Facebook or Orkut photos whlist in the fitting room. Customers are thus more satisfied with their purchases and their clothing stores. Show less
