Digital Designer, (Creative) Web Developer & Software Engineer focused on delivering future-forward result-oriented digital.

I’m a Helsinki based (1) Digital Designer, (2) (Creative) Web Developer and (3) Software Engineer. I handle projects end-to-end — clean conversion-focused work or things designed to be memorable.

What gets designed always gets built. No coordination headaches, no "our designer did X but our developer says it's impossible."

Built my first websites at 11, they were terrible... Kept building anyway.

M.Sc (2026) in Information & Service Management & Computer Science at Aalto University. Real experience comes from over a decade of hands-on experience; obsessing over the craft, building for real people and brands, and relentless practice.

Want to see if we're a fit? I offer a free discovery phase: we look at what you're working with, throw around some ideas, sketch out possibilities, and figure out what we could actually build together. No obligations, no weird stuff.

Looking forward to hearing about your ideas and what you're building, and how I could help make it happen.

DIGITAL DESIGNER // CREATIVE // WEB ENGINEER

FUTURE-FORWARD DIGITAL SATISFACTION GUARANTEED.

Here's how things usually go

THE PROCESS

Web works with me typically work project-based. We move through five phases - from initial strategy and planning, through design and development, to launch and ongoing support.

Discovery

Discovery

01

At the start of our journey, we collaborate together to create a shared brand strategy and roadmap.

[ Brand ]

  1. Brand Identity
  2. Value Proposition
  3. Inspiration/Mood Boarding
  4. Low-Fidelity Prototypes & Content Outline
  5. Creative Copywriting
  6. Keyword Analysis
  7. Visual Direction

We’ll define a clear direction together that captures your company’s visual identity, core messaging, and unique value propositions. This gives us a crystal clear direction instead of just winging it.

After the discovery phase, we move into the design phase, where we plan the website holistically and page by page.

[ Visual Planning ]

  1. Page & Interaction Design (UI/UX)
  2. Interactive Elements & Animations
  3. Motion
  4. High-Fidelity Prototypes
  5. Responsive Design

Everything's built for multiple screens and responsive. Desktop, tablet, phone - designed properly from the start, not retrofitted. You get 24/7 access to the Design (Figma) file to track progress and leave feedback instead of waiting for scheduled reveals.

After the design phase, we move to the implementation phase, where visual and functional elements are brought to life online.

[ Implementation ]

  1. Front & Back-End Development
  2. CMS Development
  3. Page Construction
  4. Responsive Development
  5. Interactive Functionalities

This is when we bring the design to life, interactive elements, everything functional and tested across browsers and devices.

Launch

Once development is complete, we finalize the site for launch and ensure everything works from a technical, usability, and accessibility standpoint.

[ Finalization ]

  1. Performance Optimization
  2. Asset Optimization
  3. Web & Product Analytics Integration
  4. GDPR & Cookie Management
  5. Accessibility Optimization
  6. Performance Reporting

Performance optimization so it loads fast. Accessibility work so screen readers actually function. GDPR compliance so you're not breaking privacy laws. Ready to deliver an exceptional user experience.

Support

Web projects don't end with the launch. I provide personal support and clear guidance to ensure your website stays up to date and easy to manage.

[ Post-Launch ]

  1. 6 Months Support
  2. Written Guides
  3. Video Tutorials
  4. Analytics Training
  5. Maintenance Support

I'll typically be around for 6 months post-launch to help with updates, answers questions, and provide training on how to actually keep up to date and utilize tools. The point is making you self-sufficient, not creating permanent dependency.

Outside of project-based work, I may also be available for shorter-term freelance gigs and longer-term contracts.

GENERAL NOTES

Most of my recent marketing-focused web projects are built using Astro and Sanity — the dev experience, performance, and flexibility are just on another level (imo).

That being said, I’ve dabbled into most modern frameworks and platforms, so whether you want your site built in Next.JS, Webflow, Framer, Shopify, or Wordpress, we can absolutely make it work.

The stack follows the idea — usually not the other way around.

SPECIALIZATIONS

  • Interactive/Complex Custom Builds
  • WebGL/Three.JS & 3D Experiences
  • Animation
  • Custom Architectural Solutions (VPS/CI)
  • Performance Optimization
  • Core Web Vitals
  • Accessibility & WCAG
  • Typography-led/Editorial Design
  • Unique & Responsive Layouts
  • Immersive Digital Experiences
  • Self-hosting & Custom Deployments
  • Headless CMS

I’m especially drawn to strong visual identities (brands that don’t want to look like everyone else) and unique (sometimes experimental) layouts that still feel intuitive and easy to use.

Overall, I love working on projects that aim to stand apart — not just in looks, but in how they feel.
