I design digital products, build the systems they're made of, and help get them shipped.

I'm a Finnish designer living in Vantaa. My background is in ICT consulting — 18 years at the intersection of design and technology, with organisations of every size across the private and public sectors.

I adapt. As the Internet has evolved, so have I. From UI designer to UX specialist, and from single screens to the systems behind them. I’ve never been too precious about where a designer's role ends, so I’m often elbow-deep in the tech, in the process, and in leading the people who see it through.

  • Product design, facilitation & delivery

    From business aspirations to measurably usable interfaces that still look & feel good. I facilitate the Agile process, keep delivery moving, and generally do whatever is in my power to help people and businesses succeed.

  • Design systems & front-end development

    A digital brand stays cohesive only when it’s powered by a system. I build and maintain those systems, and then live with them in both design and code.

  • AI-powered, human-led

    The AI train is accelerating and I’m on board. I’ve made it an integral part of how I work, all the while keeping the results accessible, scalable and consistent. And there’s more to discover. Choo-choo!
