Freelance UX/UI designer in Tampere, Finland. I design user interfaces for products that help users find and edit celebrity images for ads, translating client requirements into solutions aligned with the product’s brand identity. I also contribute to building and maintaining the design system. Previously as an in-house UX/UI designer, I led UI redesign efforts for complex products by prioritizing stakeholder problems, conducting user research with multiple methods, and sharing insights to improve both user experience and interface design. Throughout development, I mapped user flows, collaborated closely with developers and industrial designers, ran usability studies, created prototypes based on user feedback, and maintained design system assets.
