I am creating now

As a design lead at SEB Baltic, I drive a design area strategy that aligns business objectives with user needs in the financial sector. This approach has resulted in optimized processes, mature design practices within our product development organization, and higher-quality design work.

My writing explores the intersections of design careers, design leadership, and self-development. I share my hard-earned insights from my journey to help others establish effective design processes and build strong teams.
