I’m an experienced and versatile visual professional – I do concepts, visuals, UI, UX, prototyping, accessibility and more. I’m looking for a job that I can be passionate about, immersed in and committed to, and where I can grow as a professional. I want to be inspired, challenged intellectually, learn new things and have a sense of achievement.

For the past six years, I have worked as a designer in a start-up-style, international and agile product development team. We have developed B2B, B2C and SaaS products. As a UI/UX Designer, my work involves ideating features, creating concepts, wireframes, prototypes, and final designs paying close attention to usability and accessibility. I translate ideas to solution concepts and iterate ideas and designs in flexible way.

In daily collaboration with product owners, users and developers, I gather information and involve them in the design of features, usability and technical aspects. I present concepts and designs to both customers and developers. Sometimes I also assist developers by coding html and css. Together we focus on finding the best possible solutions within the limits of resources and goals. I have designed software for Stora Enso, Finferries, Ammattiliitto Pro, Kiilto, Oiva isännöinti, CableCrew and others.

My way to UX

I have working history in 3D-modelling, graphics design and video productions. I entered to the world of UX from UI and Visual Design side, and I’m learning more every day. I started in my current workplace as a Visual Designer creating concept design, graphic design and learning to do UIs.

I always want to create the best possible result, both visually and in terms of usability. This mentality drives me to develop as a professional. And that’s how I started studying UX. As my current working environment does not really enable me to do proper user research, I keep studying and doing interviews to understand our customers as best I can. Hopefully I’ll find my place in more mature UX environment at some point.

Outside of work

In addition to designing media products, I have a background in environmental science, with qualifications as an environmental manager and resource efficiency expert. A deep connection to nature and a commitment to the future of our planet have always guided my decisions. While I aspired to contribute meaningfully to preserving the natural world, opportunities in the environmental field were limited, as much of the work is led by volunteers or specialists like biologists. As a result, I chose to pursue new opportunities more aligned with my original field of expertise, where I could still bring a sustainability-focused mindset to my work.

I like to challenge myself in the things I do and that reflects to my hobbies also. I spend my free time climbing, riding motorbikes and exploring nature in various ways. In everyday life, my hobbies help me stay fit, and during holidays, they provide exciting adventures. Occasionally, I find myself in challenging situations, but I rely on my skills and resourcefulness to navigate through them.
