Hello!
I’m Teemu. I think and I do.
(UX/UI/Product Design, mostly!)
Me as a designer
IN MY CAREER, I’ve journeyed from print to digital, helping create impactful products and services for clients of all shapes and sizes - Nordea, OP, Säästöpankki, Varma, Yle and Oulun kaupunki, to name a few.
I’m passionate about strategic, holistic design, blending creativity with functionality to craft user-centered solutions. Lately, I've been diving into the omnipresent AI technologies and exploring how they can shape the future of design.
Whatever I’m working on, I strive for my solutions to be engaging, functional and user-friendly. I love to tackle even difficult problems – and I do think that good communication is a necessity for good design.
I can jump into a new project with ease and get a grasp of things quickly, thanks to my long multi-domain experience. I prefer working in projects that involve concepts, strategy and team/competence leadership.

My skillset in detail
I consider myself a holistic designer, having collaborated with professionals across a wide range of disciplines and environments. Whether it’s concept development, look and feel renewal, design systems work or conducting user research, I bring a versatile skillset to meet the project requirements.
My primary areas of expertise beyond core Product Design are Design Systems and DesignOps. I try to integrate these practices whenever possible, as even small improvements in these areas can significantly enhance workflows and team efficiency!
Accessibility is another cornerstone of my design philosophy – I believe in an inclusive world, and besides it benefits every user and every application. I often utilize various AI assistants and other tools in my work – from ChatGPT sparring to creating prototypes with vibe coding tools.
I have experience in both team and competence leadership, and I love to help organisations advance their design culture!
