As a business-oriented product designer, I bring a comprehensive approach to the entire product life cycle, from problem definition to final design execution. With a strong focus on collaboration, I work closely with stakeholders to identify key business challenges, develop strategic solutions, and translate those into actionable designs for development teams.
My process is driven by a holistic view, ensuring that my designs not only address customer pain points but also align with broader business objectives, delivering tangible value and measurable outcomes. My strengths lie in Product Design, but I'm always eager to grow, with an interest in expanding my expertise in Service Design and Project Management.
I live in Tampere with my fiancée and our cat. In my free time, I enjoy everything from working out to skiing and playing video games—especially when shared with good company.

Project Summary
I was tasked with designing an enterprise system for a rental property management company to improve how data was handled and support their core business processes. The project began with in-depth research, where I collaborated closely with key stakeholders, including process owners and end-users, to understand the existing workflows and data structure. This research uncovered key inefficiencies, helping me develop concepts for presenting, accessing, and editing data in a more intuitive way. Through continuous collaboration, wireframes and prototypes were created, iterated upon, and validated by end-users to ensure functionality and ease of use.
For the business process redesigning, the project team (myself, and 3 developers) prioritized designing and developing the most critical processes, such as tenant management, property maintenance, and financial tracking, which were very burdensome at the time to the employees. I led workshops where the team along with the key stakeholders mapped out the current process workflows and created new ones for the upcoming system. We managed to design and develop the most essential data views, back-end infrastructure and one critical process before the project unfortunately ended abruptly.

Project Summary
I was tasked with conducting an UX evaluation of LIPAS - Finland’s National Database of Sports Facilities. In addition to reviewing the system’s UI and UX flows, I was especially asked to come up with a solution on how to embed instructions on how to use the system. The budget for the project was quite small, so unfortunately actual user research was not on the menu.
The information I got from LIPAS was that the system was primarily used by the individuals who manage the sport facilities for municipalities, Many of these primary users only visited the site once or twice a year and were estimated to not be highly tech-savvy. I began by thoroughly reviewing their current user interfaces and analyzing the various tools the system offered. The primary challenge was that the system was not intuitive, with users needing to refer to external guides or videos that weren’t embedded in the platform. I noted that while users could technically access instructional PDFs and YouTube videos to understand how to operate the system, these resources were not conveniently linked within the site.
A solution that LIPAS had in mind was to embed the instructional YouTube videos directly into the platform. However, based on the information about the users, I realized that this might not be practical. I assumed many users lacked the technical expertise or large monitors needed to view videos and navigate the system simultaneously. To address this, I proposed implementing in-context pull-reveal objects with expandable text boxes. This allowed users to access the necessary information only when they needed it, without overwhelming those who were already familiar with the system.
Additionally, I also made suggestions how to make sure the current tools and their processes follow the best practices of interaction design. I also identified several UI inconsistencies and areas where the design did not align general principles of interface design. I provided actionable suggestions to enhance the overall usability, ensuring the system would cater better to both novice and expert users. Finally I also quickly designed some designs how to align LIPAS’s look with it’s administrative body, University of Jyväskylä’s brand.

Project Summary
Repliance’s system combines AI and expert knowledge to efficiently and accurately respond to vendor security reviews their customers receive. At first, the application was a NLP answer generator that answers Vendor Security Questionnaires based on provided security documentation and policy files.
In addition to being the project manager of team of 2 developers and myself, I redesigned multiple views to enhance end-users’ user experience and maximize productivity. Designs were iterated and validated with end-users. The application was also iterated time and time again according to end-users’ needs.
Later in the project I collaborated closely with customer’s Product Owner, turning his product visions into concrete designs. These designs were to create new features that steer the system towards an expert system to make the business more scalable.

Project Summary
I designed a responsive dashboard application for a heavy machinery maintenance and modernization company, to provide users with real-time and historical sensor data, including metrics like temperature, humidity, and pressure. The application needed to be intuitive and flexible, accessible on both desktop and mobile devices, enabling users to monitor machinery performance whether in the office or in the field. I designed a user-friendly interface that allowed users to easily toggle between live and historical data, as well as access detailed sensor and machinery information for quick diagnostics and troubleshooting.
Throughout the project, I worked closely with the customer, iterating the design based on user feedback to ensure it aligned with both operational needs and the client’s vision. The final dashboard streamlined maintenance workflows by enabling users to visualize complex data through easy-to-understand graphs and charts. With a responsive design, the application provided flexibility for users in dynamic environments, ultimately enhancing overall maintenance and diagnostic processes.
