I have long experience of wide range UI/UX design projects, from industrial operating / monitoring systems and public sector applications / services to embedded graphical user interfaces and games.
For example I designed 12 years embedded touch screen UX/UI:s for machine driver, responsive web/mobile fleet management system for forest machine contractor and driving simulator applications for educational use.
I have also done embedded GUI design for Polar Electro heart rate monitor, Tunturi sport exercise bike and Nokia Mobile Phones.
Nearly 20 years I created product graphics and screen games for Raha-automaattiyhdistys slot machines.
Responsive web/mobile service designs for public sector I could highlight Merimieseläkekassa services for seamen and shipping companies, Kuntaliitto service for all Finnish communal youth workers and AKK Motorsport application for all Finnish motorsports hobbyists.

For me is meaningfull to design products and services, which are helping people in their work or hobbies or are related to some physical product. Beside UX/UI design and visual design systems I do graphic design and illustrations. My background is Master of Arts in Industrial Design and hobby since childhood is aquarelle painting.
