Bio
Jaana Miettinen
Jarmo was very creative, patient and flexible partner to work with. We worked together in ehealth-project called Omahoitopolut.fi for THl. Jarmo´s design for Omahoitopolut was very much liked.
Matti Kiviluoto
I’ve worked with Jarmo in numerous projects through the whole time he worked at Avaus and watched him bring UX to be an integral part of ALL our web projects. During our cooperation he has never failed the team, but often exceeded the expectations of both the team and the customer. Jarmo is valued among customers as a reliable UX expert to consult in any scenario that might pop up. He has provided excellent solutions whether the case is a completely new service or when the room for change has been very limited. Because of his expertize, he excels also in sales. He has an ability to create trust in a very short time – his interaction with different people is always natural and he can intuitively relate to almost any possible web-site UX-scenario. As a team leader he has managed to attract talent and create a creative and cooperative team. He’s been the heart and soul of Avaus’ respected UX-team the whole time of his employment in our company.

Avaus creates business results by combining strategy, design and analytics with technology and data. The role of UX work is crucial at Avaus. Cross-department, lean teamwork allows us to gather combined insights: user research, business strategy, customer and web analytics and technological innovations. We understand clients' business, goals and also their unique technological environment. All the insight is glued together to form basis for beautifully designed products and services. I'm very fortunate to have such talented and smart colleagues to work with. My part in all this: Lead and manage our UX & Design work, teams and competences in Finland and Poland. I also do my best to plant UX seeds into our clients' hearts. Show less
