Great products aren't built alone - here's what I bring to the table.

01

UX/UI Design

In my design work, I focus on what users need and like. I build clear, user-friendly designs, test them to make sure they work well, and keep them looking great.
02

Mobile App Design

I'm all about creating iOS & Anrdoid apps that people enjoy using. Whether it's a simple app or something more complex, I focus on making every touch and swipe feel just right.
03

Web Apps

I focus on making web apps that work great for all kinds of businesses. I'm good at understanding different needs, like for B2B and B2C.
04

Design Systems

Building design systems is my thing. I put together sets of components and rules that make designing faster and more consistent.

Insights from those who've worked with me

It was a pleasure to work with Akseli for almost 5 full years. Together we developed Lamia’s design competence and processes. As a UI/UX Designer Akseli is eager to learn new things and keep himself up-to-date on new design trends, ways of working, tools and technologies. He was a genuine asset to the team.

Akseli grasps new design tasks efficiently and with excitement and excels when a concrete outcome needs to take its form fast. As an easygoing person that brings joy to his surroundings Akseli was also a beloved teammate.

Customer feedback was always positive. With his professional but humorous touch he made the customer encounters fluent and joyful.

Design Director, HiQ Finland

Akseli owns several qualities that make him unmistakably a world-class UX designer: he pays meticulous attention to detail, is organized, efficient, reliable, passionate, and selfless. He stays on the pulse of the industry and is a true team player.

Although we didn't work together on the same projects, Akseli always dedicated his time and expertise to help and support me whenever I reached out to him. I would bring him a few ideas, which he would then refine, test, and develop into something far better, showcasing the true spirit of a team leader and collaborator.

I want to extend my heartfelt thanks to Akseli for his help and the significant impact he has made. He will be greatly missed, and his new company will undoubtedly benefit greatly from his skills and dedication.
