Background

My background is a mix: computer science studies at Aalto University, design and business through IDBM, game-industry work with Bugbear Entertainment, and UX projects ranging from accessibility tech to sustainable fashion.

What ties it together is that I like taking an idea the whole way: figuring out what's worth building, designing how it should work, and then actually building it.

How I build

  1. 01

    Find the real problem first

    At Doublepoint we spent months on research and immersion trips before committing, and ended up somewhere none of us expected: rehabilitation.

  2. 02

    Prototype early, test often

    Whiteboard, low-fi, high-fi. Every round of Sustainably Yours went in front of users before the next one started.

  3. 03

    Build it for real

    I'm comfortable in the engine and the editor: Unity, C#, React Native, Blender. Making the thing teaches you what the spec didn't.
