About

I'm a UI/UX and service designer who builds digital products for public sector, healthcare, and complex B2B services. After seven years as a senior designer and consultant at Wunderdog, I now work independently—from research and service design through UI, prototyping, and visual design. Recent work includes indoor-air monitoring for Helsinki schools, a child-welfare operations tool, Ateneum's museum audio guide, and a waste-management platform. I pair service design with hands-on interface craft, grounded in an art-direction background at Publicis and Karhu Helsinki.
