From web services to e-commerce solutions and design systems.
No two web solutions alike. I have had the opportunity to work on a wide range of design projects, varying in shape and size.

Additionally, I have played a critical role in fostering cross-team collaboration through common ground rules and design principles.

Case Lindroos, a prestige e-commerce solution for prestige timepieces.
A customer-oriented e-commerce platform selling high-value accessories to consumers. Since no one invests in premium products without trust, the stakes were high. My main goal was to present our client’s offering in the most convincing way possible. Through detailed customer experience and service design rounds, followed by focused UI design sprints, we crafted a polished and trustworthy storefront that exceeded all expectations.
Beyond the front-end, we also overhauled our client’s product management systems, streamlined workflows, and positively impacted how they run their business today.

Case Dieta, B2B commerce with industry leading digital impact
Acting as a consulting designer, I was tasked with modernizing and updating our partner’s client’s online presence. In the field of B2B kitchen appliance sales, there were plenty of low-hanging fruits to pick here in Finland. Naturally, we decided to aim higher:
We focused on user needs–driven customer journeys, platform-wide service packages, and product-specific cross-sale. The scope covered everything from end-user maintenance order tracking to product management tools. I led the entire design phase in sprints and ultimately delivered production-ready layouts, handed off to our partner’s team for technical implementation.

NYT Yrityskylä is a live educational event for children that supports economic education by combining real-world activities with video game applications. Our client’s old digital service had run its course. Having successfully collaborated with the same client before, I was tasked with a complete reimagining of their digital game system.
Starting with extensive architecture and service design, centered around real-life actions influencing in-game events, I went on to design everything from the gamified UI layouts to the dashboards used by event organizers to run their daily sessions.

We established clear rules for topic-specific color schemes, visual language, and image concepts, ensuring that every element carried deeper meaning beneath the surface.
