KONECRANES

Collaborated with the customer to deliver a current state analysis and recommendations for how to begin building their design system. The research team consisted of me and a service designer with whom we conducted a series of interviews within the customer organisation. Based on the findings we created a mapping of requirements for each organisational unit and how the requirements reflect to the artefacts of the future design system.

Working on the project taught me about implementing service design methods in order to build understanding of a large enterprise functions and how to manage varied customer expectations.

Clients:

VEIKKAUS

I worked in the Digital Sales and Development unit in a multivendor team of consultants. I involved myself in site renovation projects as a UX development expert, from component design to design sprints. Took part in building a comprehensive design system, which is currently being implemented and developed further to benefit the clients online products. This greatly uplifted my understanding on how design principles and a foundation in communication leverage the overall productivity and predictability of the team.

Teams in Veikkaus work by implementing Agile methodologies. Working in a Lean environment made it possible to communicate design and development best practices and constraints directly with the client. Advocating this iteration of design with development, made it possible for me to provide excellent customer service.

Skills:

· Customer communication

· UX design and develpment

· CSS, LESS, BEM

· Javascript ES6, Lodash and Bacon.js

· iDOM and Preact

TELIA

Came to work with the client to see to the implementation of their new B2C customer service portal. The design still unfinished, I worked hands on together with the clients design and project management teams in completing the customer journeys and implementing best front end UX practices. The completed design and implementation were proven a success and well received.

Later part took in the B2C site redesign project where I worked iteratively with the clients technical lead and a team of service and UI design consultants. My position also made me a link between the designers and expat consultants working on the platform backend. Following an Agile project flow, we delivered a very successful online brand redesign.

Skills:

· UX design

· UX & front end developmet

· CSS, SASS, BEM

· Communication between multicultural teams

· JQuery

Projects

MTV

Project work on the web services of the Finland’s leading commercial television station. Worked as a front end development consultant in a multivendor Agile team. We saw through the brand renewal where development was based on a visual identity with little regard for user experience. I involved myself in a lot of conversations and design decisions with the client and as a team we succeeded to deliver a product that was though through and on time.

I produced several SPA applications for internal use at the company. My role here was to gather knowledge of users needs and project constraints which I implemented in design and development of the applications. In a small team we also developed a well received SPA application for use in the news reading about the 2011 parliamentary elections.

Skills:

· Web development using AngularJS

· UX design and development
