I design accessible digital products, services, and systems for complex products and organisations.
FinlandWhat I'm looking for
I've designed products, services, and design systems for organisations including SAP Build Apps, AppGyver, ALMA, Kesko, Finnair, Nokia, Nordea, and the City of Helsinki.
As Design System Lead at SAP Build Apps and Lead Designer at AppGyver, I worked on design systems and digital product experiences. My work spans web, UX, apps, branding, visual communication, accessibility, and omni-channel design.
I've also run Digitaltableteur since 2003 and currently lead VertaaUX. I see design as a tool for solving client problems and end-user needs through clear hierarchies, validated processes, thoughtful details, and playful communication.
