“Anna’s toolbox for digital transformation and team building methods is exceptional. I hired Anna to take ownership of our Design System. She systemically developed the Design System but beyond that she frequently exceeded all the expectations by developing the design team’s ways of working. I personally enjoyed a lot of our honest design and design culture related discussions. Anna’s professional background and education is really valuable for any design team.”
“Anna is a talented designer with versatile knowledge in UX & UI Design. Her facilitation and team communication skills are among the best I’ve ever witnessed. On top of this, she applies design thinking tools and methods as an indispensable part of her daily work.I got to know Anna when we both worked as designers in the Accountor Group: our common projects included designing a new AI feature, a service concept, and a recreational health club. She is the most organised and productive colleague I’ve ever got to work with: she prepares thoroughly, drives projects forward, and is a natural communicator and silo-breaker.As a designer, she truly is human-centric. She seeks to understand customers, users, and teams. With an eye for visuals and exquisite attention to detail, she has designed excellent user flows, UIs and visualisations. In terms of UX writing, she is a mature professional from whom I’ve had the privilege to learn a lot.As a person, Anna is a great team worker and has shown great leadership skills: she is empathetic, improvement-oriented, and driven. She is always curious, open-minded and has a quest for knowledge: she always makes time for studying and learning new domains. Moreover, she is excellent at giving and receiving feedback, which she has been teaching to different teams across the company.I would not hesitate for a moment if I had the chance to work with Anna again!”
“It’s a pleasure to work with Anna. She is open minded and has a broad skillset in design. She does excellent work from detailed UX design to facilitation and utilizing design methods. She also has the courage to overcome blockers and to drive organizational change in fostering the use of design in a broader company context.”
“Hello, Anna! I’m writing to you to say thanks again for holding all those nice workshops for our team as they really helped me to enhance self-directness and self-organisation, especially swob workshop. :) I got so inspired by it and found it so helpful that I kinda did same workshop for my husband and best friend yesterday. They also found it very very great! So, many thanks for you from the two of them as well. :) You really helped at least three people to clear up self-development plans and made them start acting, that’s so cool! Have a nice week!”
“Anna is a honest, empathic and hard working person. She calls things as she sees them, understands peoples needs, pleasures and pains and work hard to make the best of it. This applies to her as a team member and a designer.I worked as a UX designer together with Anna when she was a UX design intern at Record Union. From the start she had a great understanding of the design process and her insightfulness was immediately an asset. She developed a lot during the 3 months we worked together, especially when it comes to working with design tools. Much thanks to her eagerness to learn and ask questions, hard work, openness for feedback.Her previous experience in blogging and print media, that has given her a great foundation and confidence, her new knowledge in User Experience Design and her people skills makes me believe that she can be a great design leader in the future.”
“I worked with Anna several years at daily newspaper Helsingin Sanomat, and since then I’ve got to know her well. Anna is very creative, insightful and hard-working person. She is quick to adopt new skills, technologies and methods and always eager to learn. One of her great traits is her communication skills: she is not afraid to share her ideas and opinions, does it always in a constructive and respectful manner and appreciates feedback. A real team player! Overall, Anna is a wonderful person to be around with and I would love to work with her again any time!”
“Your work is really valuable for all designers. Focused on details - I really appreciate that ;) Thanks for advices every time I need them.”
“Working with Anna was an absolute blast! We were assigned to create e-commerce wireframes for a client within the beauty industry who was looking into updating their current webshop. Throughout the process I was constantly impressed by Annas attention to details, UX thinking and ability to read the clients needs.I would be honoured to work with Anna again as she is a talented designer, expert within the social media field and an overall - a wonderful human being.”
