About me

Thank you for visiting my site. I’d like to share a little about myself. From a young age, friends often told me I wasn’t good at languages—and honestly, I felt that too. I struggled both mentally and physically, and learning didn’t always come easily. But instead of giving up, I wanted to understand why. I realized that if I wanted to improve, I needed to find a way of learning languages that truly suited me.

I grew up in Finland, in the city of Turku, and later lived and worked in different countries, including Japan, Finland and Norway. Growing up in a multicultural environment made me naturally curious about people, communication, and how we learn languages. From early on, I was also drawn to the online world—especially how digital products can connect people and make everyday life easier. This interest led me to study the online and digital world at Arcada University of Applied Sciences in Helsinki.

Today, I focus on UX design in edtech, where I combine my background, curiosity, and passion for learning to create engaging, human-centered digital experiences. Language learning has been a big part of my life, both personally and professionally. I enjoy exploring how people stay motivated and how small, well-designed experiences can make learning feel easier, more accessible, and more enjoyable.

Outside of work, I love sports. I play tennis, badminton, and table tennis, and I especially enjoy soccer as a hobby. Staying physically active helps me keep my mind fresh—and interestingly, it also makes my language flow feel more natural.
