Bio
Jussi Hacklin
Olli is a highly skilled design professional capable of going from strategy level to pixel level, all in a one go. He is also great for brainstorming ideas and rapidly producing the first prototype. As a design lead, Olli showed seniority while managing a diverse team of design professionals. I would gladly work with Olli on any design project.
Anton Schubert
Olli is a strategist, service designer, brand dude, communication expert all wrapped up in one very smart and likeable package. I worked with Olli for almost three years and he has never let me down. In fact Olli always does the opposite. He excels and surprises me with his ideas and thinking. Just the kind of designer you need these days as projects become more complex, political and far from straight forward.
