About

It takes a combination of strategic, tactical, and engineering skills to create truly exceptional services, products, and marketing. I’m an interaction designer, information architect, strategist and creative lead, multi-skilled and versed in creative, strategy and technology. I’m also known as an electronic musician who has traveled the world from Tampere to Tokyo.

I earned my experience as art director, concept designer and creative director in Scandinavia, praised for its award-hoarding digital agencies, then went on to work in the Middle East, the United States, and Canada. 

Currently, I work as Interaction Design Director at R/GA as well as a freelance interaction designer and information architect. My work has been awarded with national and international awards (see my LinkedIn profile for a list of Honors and Awards).

My contributions to strategic, creative and technical work include:

  • Active concept design: exploring far-ranging design ideas to find the most effective overall solution
  • Managing a team of designers, writers and developers to create, develop and test the best functional and creative solutions
  • Creating, leading and fostering a strategic vision for engaging multi-channel platforms
  • Researching competitive solutions and assessing opportunities and threats
  • Exploring user motivations, goals and frustrations through efficient research
  • Generating sketches, schemes, wireframes and prototypes that reinforce the structure, content and purpose of the interactive experience
  • Supporting the tone and messaging of the brand through meaningful interactions
  • Identifying and documenting functional qualifications, based on familiarity with both technical constraints and user needs

This is my personal blog where I share thoughts and opinions that are solely my own.

I encourage you to also have a look at my portfolio, my LinkedIn profile, and follow me on Twitter.
