I’m a creative developer and designer with a keen eye for good design and attention to detail

With more than 15 years of design engineering experience, I have the skills to build high-quality websites and products and assist clients in addressing practical business challenges.

I’m Joonas — UI/UX Designer, Front-end Developer and sometimes even a Music Producer. I have a strong and great visual taste, broad understanding of front-end web technologies and a genuine passion for all aspects of product and visual design, including web services, design systems, touch platforms and branding.

I get excited about finding unique and elegant solutions for complex user issues, and I love designing by code in the browser but I work a lot with Figma and other design tools as well. Usually I write applications with TypeScript, React, Sass and other modern tools.

With a background in both design and code, I thrive in the space between aesthetics and functionality, blending the best of both worlds to deliver great user experiences.
