Studies
I began my studies in architecture at Tallinn University of Applied Sciences, then shifted to industrial design at the Estonian Academy of Arts, where I graduated in 2013. That foundation continues to influence how I approach design, with a focus on thoughtful solutions that are both functional and aesthetically grounded.
Practice
Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience across different fields of design. I interned at Ihanna Home in Reykjavik and OK Design in Copenhagen, and worked with top Estonian architecture firms such as KAVAKAVA and 3+1 Architects.
I have designed sensor-based products and data systems at Nordic Automation Systems, and later focused on UX and UI design for unmanned ground vehicle control systems at Milrem Robotics.
Currently, I work at Vegvisir, designing intuitive interfaces for aXR-based solutions in the defense sector. I love creating experiences where software and hardware work seamlessly together in real-world environments.
Design
For me is about people, context, and creating clarity through simplicity. I care about timeless aesthetics, purposeful design, and the small details that make every product and interaction feel just right.
Minumo
Outside of my main role, I run Minumo, a personal brand that brings together minimalist art prints and smart kitchen accessories inspired by Nordic aesthetics, natural materials, and the rhythm of everyday life. All products are designed and produced in Estonia with a strong focus on sustainability and local craftsmanship.
