What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that values user-centered design and offers opportunities for innovation.

With over 10 years of experience in user-centered design, I am a Senior UX Designer dedicated to driving product innovation and enhancing user experiences. My journey has taken me through various roles where I have honed my skills in user research, advocacy, and cross-functional collaboration. At Virta Oy, I successfully improved the efficiency of client-facing departments by 15%, saving 119 hours of manual work per month through the implementation of automated tools.

My experience spans across multiple industries, including my time as a UI/UX Designer at Sponsor United, where I implemented a design system that significantly improved team efficiency. I have collaborated with developers to create user-friendly solutions for over 10 applications and UI kits, ensuring that user goals align with business objectives. My passion for mentoring junior designers and fostering a culture of user advocacy has been a cornerstone of my professional ethos.
