GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — MiEN has announced that Avron Levin is joining the company as its Senior Director of Furniture Innovation. In his new role, Levin will lead MiEN's 0creative team, overseeing their collaborations with educational institutions around designing agile, active learning spaces that empower modern instruction and engage all learners.

Levin brings over 20 years of industry experience to MiEN. He now heads the company's four-person creative design team of Mariely Leon, Nathan Warwick, Scott Thorr, and Cory Ellison.

"One of the reasons I'm thrilled to be part of MiEN is that the company shares my vision of intelligent design as the best way to truly answer the needs in education today," Levin said. "Another reason is that MiEN has invested in a robust and talented product design team. It's the only education company of its kind that has its designers focused on its product. Other companies use consultants, but consultancies tend to spend a limited time in the education market, so they can't develop a true understanding of education or learners' needs. I'm committed to using the insights I've gained over the years to help MiEN deliver innovative and insightful design for clients."

Levin's industry experience includes founding NorvaNivel, a furniture design and manufacturing company specializing in learning spaces, in 2012. Under his guidance as the company's creative director, furniture and spaces were developed that fostered engagement and collaboration.

"I have been familiar with Avron and his educational furniture designs for many years, consistently impressed by his thoughtful and innovative products. His designs seamlessly integrate meaning, form, and function, creating solutions that enhance educational environments. When he became available to the market, we seized the opportunity to hire Avron" said CEO and founder of MiEN, Remco Bergsma. "MiEN has forged its sterling reputation in the industry, and we believe that Avron will be key to our continued progress. We're looking forward to seeing his solutions for the next generation of educational environments."
