About

I am a reputable digital creative, academically trained in design at the school of Bauhaus. After significant art director roles in prominent design houses in Finland, I started to operate as an independent design consultant where I worked with countless startups as well as big corps (IBM, Huawei, Nordea, KONE etc.).

I am confident and comfortable in almost all of the sub-disciplines, but my core competence is in UX/UI, product design and design systems. I have a track record delivering holistic design; I perform audits to align with business goals, map navigation logic, create UX blueprints, apply branded UI to the skeleton, and document the outcome in a design system to bridge design and development.
