What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a product-design role where I can lead end-to-end UX/UI work, mentor teams, build design systems, and deliver measurable product improvements in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a senior product designer with a technical background and over six years of experience designing intuitive web and mobile solutions for both B2B and B2C products.

I excel at translating complex technical requirements into user-friendly interfaces through research, prototyping, and usability testing, and I have led projects that delivered measurable business impact.

I co-organise an international design community in Helsinki, mentor junior designers, and build consistent design systems across multiple platforms while optimising collaboration between design and development teams.

My work includes improving an airport resource management system, raising app ratings for a major retailer, and delivering end-to-end product design and strategic recommendations for startups and enterprises.
