Mad UX skillz
- During my 15 years in the digital industry I’ve gathered a large & varied skill set ranging from strategic thinking to comprehensive design skills and excellent technological understanding:
I love to look at things from high up to see the big picture. I'm very good at seeing patterns and forming models of complicated things. I also totally dig the details, and love tweaking them hands-on. As Charles Eams put it: “The details are not the details. They make the design.”I’ve worked as design lead in numerous projects for international companies like Nokia, Neste Oil and Merck & Co, established Finnish corporations like Sanoma and MTV3, small & interesting startups like Foodie & Nopsa Travels and art institutions like Kunsthalle Helsinki — with project domains spanning online news, customer service, self-help health tool, maps, food, shopping, travel, teleconferencing, ...Due to the confidential nature of many of the projects, design portfolio is available per request only. Contact me for more information.
