Industrial design, engineering and communications oriented opportunist and seeker. Often a freewheeling zealot. Please contact for portfolio, examples of work & personal projects.
Specialties: Industrial design, creativity techniques, design management, design semiotics, manufacturing technology. I can handle both artistic and engineer oriented people. When required, I can perform hands-on or purely theoretical work tasks. In practice, this can mean anything from model building (mock-ups) to running a basic FEM/CFD simulation or doing research. I often employ methods that can combine these ways of working. An example of this is performing a participatory user study on a product that has evolved using industrial design and/or simulation techniques.
My main interest is to deliver novel, real world benefits to various stakeholders, primarily the end user, by using any method(s) that will solve the problem at hand. A good problem is clearly defined but also a wicked one. A well understood and worthy problem definition will provide the necessary fuel to undergo a successful and memorable journey to deliver and communicate that benefit.
Outside of working life, my hobbies include cinema, boardgames, disc golf, bicycling and investing.
Trivia: I used to run a demoscene BBS in the 90's. This led to a very early interest in 3D modeling and graphics in general - experience that serves as a origin point to what I do now.

Interaction design / PowerCo ICC
The new Finn-Power Intelligent Crimping Control ICC has taken a great step forward from our earlier model. New industrial-grade touch screen is engineered for tough conditions. Visual symbols on the control guide the operator to complete the task with ease and comfort. The ICC menus are language neutral, thus allowing operators with different language backgrounds to be comfortable in operating the machine.

STARTUP
JUKO HX -valaisin on suunniteltu erityisesti räjähdysvaarallisiin tiloihin kuten öljynjalostamoihin tai laitoksiin, joissa muodostuu räjähdysherkkää pölyä tai käsitellään kaasuja. Tuotekehitys lähti asiakastutkimuksesta, jossa selvitettiin käyttäjien toiveita: tehokasta valaistusta, pitkää elinkaarta, huoltovapautta ja ekologisuutta. Monia innovatiivisia ratkaisuja omaava valaisin toteuttaa hyvin vaativat erityistarpeet. Mm. jäähdytyksen ja asennuksen helppouteen on kiinnitetty erityishuomiota.
