A usability guy
I am a Finnish
user centered designer - that is, I deal with people and software.
I co-founded Fluxitek. We build software that helps engineers measure product quality, and allows them to concentrate on what is important in their work.
I am also a Christian.
About me
See also: design references, software workI find people interesting and confusing, and thus I spend a great part of my time wondering about their strange ways (and my own), learning to live. I find listening important, one of the most important things. My passion, still just finding a way to become reality, is to help people find ways to live up to their fullest potential, staying true, keeping real.
Designing great web sites/services and software both in terms of user experience and technology is intriguing. I have been building web sites and applications for about a decade now, and come up with new projects once in a while. I usually do not have enough time to implement most of them.

I like all sortsa movies,
green tea
and red
wine,
melancholy,
sincerity,
playing, singing, poems and poets. I respect being open to new thoughts
and new ways to see, ignoring prejudice (though it is hard sometimes).
I also find singing, climbing, swimming and
pilates enjoyable -
sometimes even fun!
For managing things, I do Getting Things Done with Toodledo and NuevaSync.
