About Me

Hello, I'm André, a Design Engineer based in Helsinki. My interest in technology started early in the 90s with a Commodore 64, where I spent more time trying to beat 8-bit games than doing my homework.

That curiosity eventually turned into a career in design and web development. With a background in Digital and Print Media Design, I now focus on creating clear, intuitive interfaces for digital products and bringing them to life in the browser.

Over the years I’ve worked in agencies and SaaS teams across Germany and Finland, designing user interfaces and collaborating closely with engineers to turn ideas into real products. I now work at Mainmatter as a Design Engineer, bridging early UX concepts, design systems, and front-end implementation for web products.

I enjoy simplifying complex systems and turning them into intuitive user experiences. My work spans user flows, wireframes, prototypes, component libraries, technical design guidelines, and responsive interfaces built in HTML and CSS. I also collaborate with clients, stakeholders, product teams, and engineers to shape ideas into polished digital experiences.

Beyond product work, I support marketing and business development with visuals for social media, presentations, events, blog posts, and other communication materials.

Outside of work I enjoy exploring creative technologies like Three.js, interactive web graphics, and Blender.

When I'm not designing or coding you'll probably find me learning chess, playing piano, doing sports, or playing Rocket League.

My blog is where I occasionally share projects, experiments, and things I’ve learned along the way.

If you'd like to collaborate or just say hello, feel free to get in touch.

Best,

André 😎🤙
