About

Hi, I’m Hannu Salonen, a senior product designer with 15+ years of experience building business-critical B2B web and mobile apps. I have a strong background in SaaS, earth observation, climate tech, and data-heavy analytics, and I’ve led design across organizations from startups to large teams, shaping strategy, UX/UI, prototyping, and cross-functional collaboration.

I love turning vague problems into clear product visions, shipping thoughtful user experiences, and building scalable design systems. I’m passionate about climate tech, sustainability, and helping teams deliver solutions that users actually love.
