Got questions? Let’s clear things up.
Answers to the most common things clients ask before working with me.
This FAQ is here to help you decide, understand how I work, and know what to expect. If something’s still unclear, I’m just a message away.
The Big Picture (Positioning & Fit)
What makes you different from typical design studios or freelancers?
I combine design, systems thinking, and business insight. It's all one execution stack. You get a strategic, battle-tested, and problem-solver in one. No handoffs, no fluff.
Why should I choose you instead of a big agency?
No junior handoffs. No account managers. Just fast, focused collaboration with one experienced designer who actually does the work and gets results.
What does “Army of One” mean in your work?
It means I work solo, but with the power of AI, automation, and proven processes. You get the speed and output of a small team without the overhead.
What kind of clients or teams do you usually work with?
I’ve worked with product-minded teams, startups, or growing companies who value speed, clarity, and outcome-driven design.
Working With Me (Process & Sprints)
Why do you sell your services in weekly packages?
Weekly sprints focus on outcomes, not time tracking or meetings. You know exactly what you’re getting and what will be delivered by Friday.
What do I actually get in a weekly design sprint?
You get high-impact work—strategy, UX flows, wireframes, or design system chunks—tailored to what will move your product forward the most.
Do I have to commit long-term, or can I start with just one workshop?
No long-term contract. You can start with a single session or week to assess fit and impact. No strings attached.
What happens after the design sprint is done?
You can re-engage for new focus areas, additional sprints, or continue with internal dev. I deliver clean, reusable assets.
AI, Tools & Collaboration
How do you use AI without losing the human touch?
AI helps with research, ideas, and repetition—so I can focus on insight and creativity. You get faster outcomes without losing the human side of design.
Is this just you, or do you have a team?
Just me—plus a lot of tools, systems, and deep experience. I call it a one-person powerhouse, built for scale.
Can I use my own tools or platform (Figma, Canva, Notion…)?
Definitely. I’ll plug into your workflow or bring my own stack—whatever keeps things flowing. Best tool wins. The goal is speed, not dogma.
How do you handle project management and communication?
Async-first. Notion, Loom, Slack, email—clean comms, no meetings unless needed. You’ll always know where we are and what’s next.
Not Sure Yet? (Low-commitment entry)
I’m not sure what I need — can you still help me?
Totally. You don’t need a full roadmap—we can figure things out together in one session or sprint.
Can you help us clarify our product idea or redesign something that’s not working?
Yes. I help teams rethink features, flows, or entire products with clarity, user logic, and better outcomes.
We have a design system (or want one) — is that something you do?
Absolutely. I build design systems that scale across teams. Whether you need an audit or a full DS overhaul, I’ve got you.
Do you work with early-stage startups?
Yes. I’ve worked with product teams from zero to launch. The work is focused, fast, and tied to what matters most right now.
Value, Methods & Location
What is OOUX, and why should I care?
OOUX helps design your product around real-world concepts users care about. It brings structure, clarity, and better scalability.
What is the ROI of UX and product design?
Great UX increases conversion, reduces churn, and speeds up dev. It’s not about looking nice—it’s about smart business impact.
Why do you prefer sprints over hourly billing?
I like offer bulky pricing with clear value. It’s better for results, energy, and momentum. You get more value, less micro-managing.
Are you based in Helsinki Finland, and do you work with clients remotely?
Yes. I’m in Helsinki—but I work globally. Remote is default, async is smooth, and results speak every language.
