Multidisciplinary designer with 20 years of experience of digital design. I'm comfortable with wide range of design roles: Interaction design, visual design, design consultancy and service design.
I was born and raised near Helsinki city, on the countryside of Klaukkala. I have always liked art and computers. Around 17 years old I started to learn Photoshop, and it immediately opened my eyes that, with the Photoshop, possibilities are endless.
In year 2000 I went to Laurea Applied Sciences school, majoring Ecommerce. One course changed my way of thinking. It was about web design. I could finally combine my photoshop skills to the world wide web. I picked up things pretty quickly and began doing some freelance work. First sites and projects i did for my friends and to small companies. So, this all began of passion for computers & art, and combining them to a experience different than printed media.
