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 and iterative 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 our 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.
