Quotes

“Olli has been fantastic to work with. He is incredibly talented, communicative, and has consistently delivered against any plan with a level of thoughtfulness that any team will be happy to have. I highly recommend Olli as an extension of anyone's team from start-up to enterprise initiatives. ”–James Deighan (Mega Cat Studios)

“(Translated) In addition to being a great person who I enjoy being around, Olli is also a particularly hard worker in his profession! Thanks to Olli's custom-made UX audit and wireframing, we were able to open up the knots of our product development with new eyes and ideas.” —Arttu Helke (Trustmary)

“(Translated) I collaborated with Olli on various music videos and advertising jingles. Olli was easy to work with and you could always trust the quality of the end result. Even with a small spec, we were able to get things moving and the end result was top-notch in terms of creative solutions and production. I also played with Olli in the same band and on coffee breaks at work quite a few times a day. As a musician, Olli is a supreme expert and multi-talented. Whether it was bass, synth or drums, he gets the job done and the level is tough.” –Pekka Majaniemi (Paytrail)

“Olli's development as a UX-designer and visual problem solver has been immense. He has an innate knack for creating beautiful and functional visualizations – building them from wireframes to full-fletched visual designs. Olli actively hones these skills through eager experimentation, iteration, and studies – continuously growing as a holistic designer. Olli is an endearing part of the workforce with his Finnish quality of humor resonating with all the people around him.” –Aate Autio (Aiwo)

“Steering technical product development I was working with Olli in converting customer and business requirements to product UX, user interfaces and implementation. Olli takes responsibility in digging deep into requirements and communicating them and related aspects within the team. Where Olli shines is creating incredible end-user experiences that look graphically amazing. Also, there is never dull moment working with Olli especially if you have Finnish sense of dark humour.”–Hannu Klemetti (Aiwo)

“I was the one hiring Olli. Never had doubts on him. Always was proud of him. Often was jealous about his height. We had many seasons together on product development adventures. Olli is an active, honest and open colleague. He is willing to give and receive help. He didn’t always agree and there were times when assignments did not tickle all his ambitions and desires - yet he played for the logo in his shirt. Olli is a multi-talent person and together with his personal characteristics and attitude towards work, he is really something. Man, I miss him.” –Vesa Kortteinen (Paytrail)

“Working with Olli is a real privilege. He is a creative thinker who always works hard and smart to get job done. You can always count on his help, vision and on his honest opinion. One might call him a UX designer, but really he is an artist. He is the kind of player you definitely want to have in your team. I would work with him again at any time and with great pleasure.” —Saana Borgström (Paytrail, Aiwo)
