CV
I am a designer specialising in UI/UX and visual communication, with a Master of Arts from Aalto University. My core strength is building scalable, accessible design systems and coherent brand experiences.
Experience
UI/UX and Visual Designer
I was the sole designer on a micro-influencer platform, responsible for the company brand identity end to end as well as the UI/UX of both the app and the website. The role also covered marketing materials and motion graphics. Read more about building the Wave-R app.
Visual Communication Coordinator
I was responsible for the visual identity, graphic design and interfaces of the Kielibuusti project. Together we designed an open web portal for learners, teachers and researchers of the Finnish and Swedish languages. My remit spanned a wide range of visual communication work: I developed the portal’s image concept, designed the digital and printed marketing materials, and evolved the project’s visual identity.

Graphic Designer
Alongside my studies and day jobs I have worked as an independent graphic designer, taking on visual communication commissions across a range of industries. The work has included illustrations for a University of Helsinki MOOC, technical illustrations for a higher-education project, publication layouts for Aalto University, and logo and digital invitation design.
Education
Master of Arts, Visual Communication Design
During my master’s I focused on interactive information graphics and, through that, on front-end coding. My thesis examined the body — specifically skin — as a medium for visual communication and art. It is available in Aaltodoc: Skin as a temporary medium for contemporary self-expression (opens in a new tab).
Bachelor of Arts, Visual Communication Design
My bachelor’s studies built a solid foundation in graphic design, typography and visual storytelling. I studied a broad range of design software and the creation of concept-driven brand identities, with game design as my minor.
