DATA-DRIVEN INTERACTION DESIGN / SUMMER SEASON ’26 🌷

Welcome to my homepage. My name is Kris. I wish you sunshine .

AI is broken. We laid off employees. People don't know how to use our product. But no worries. There's Me! I will turn your ideas into accessible and well-functioning products

WHAT'S BROKEN?

Proof I can do this

Good design is invisible. Bad design makes people want to cry.

Most software is a bloated mess of broken promises. I strip away the nonsense. Here are some projects where I turned chaotic operations into actual working systems. No buzzwords, just things that work.

Getting people to buy tickets without losing their minds.2024 - Present

Theatres shouldn't be harder to navigate than the DMV.

People just want to see a play, not solve a puzzle. I build booking systems that don't crash when more than 3 people use them. Humans buy the tickets, let's treat them like humans.

Viirus Theatre

A theatre site where you can actually find the tickets without needing a PhD in navigation.

I connected the website to the box office so the marketing team stops guessing and starts selling.

Repsal Busholmen

Artists need space. This tool lets them find it, book it, and pay for it before they lose their inspiration.

I automated the soul-crushing admin work so the coordinator can go home at 5 PM.

Making museums not suck on the internet.2017 - 2018

History is boring unless you make it look cool.

Nobody wants to read an encyclopedia. I took thousands of old Finnish objects and turned them into digital stories you actually want to click through. Culture is meant to be shared, not buried.

100 Objects from Finland

One year, one object. We made Finnish history so simple even a tired tourist gets it.

We packaged a giant messy archive so schools and museums could actually use it without throwing their computers out the window.

Life in Finland

Everyday Finnish junk turned into a digital treasure hunt you can read in multiple languages.

I fixed the search bar and the filters so people can actually find the stuff their taxes paid to digitize.

Taming the institutional beast.2017 - Present

Universities are chaos. I build the calm.

Big institutions have too many departments screaming for attention on the homepage. I force them to agree on what's important so students and visitors can actually find what they need.

Estonian Academy of Arts

A massive art school website that somehow doesn't feel overwhelming. You can actually find the admissions page.

I stopped 15 different departments from ruining the website by giving everyone rules they actually agreed to follow.

Narva Art Residency

A border town art hub that connects weird and wonderful projects without making the user dizzy.

I built pathways so the residency doesn't feel like a ghost town between their big open calls.

Enough reading. Let's fix it.

Send me your worst problem.

Bring me the legacy code you're afraid to touch, the app your users hate, or that idea you can't quite figure out. I'll take care of it.
