A bit about me

A photograph of me, Timo Lehtonen. I am a white male in my late twenties. In the picture, I am smiling and looking up with my hands around my head. I am wearing a black and white striped shirt against a colourful magenta background.

I'm Timo, a digital designer, creative and web developer! I am imaginative and curious by nature, manifesting in a wealth of ideas and a burning passion for learning new. My most potent characteristic is empathy – I get motivated by unsolved problems and people whose lives I wish to improve. I love well-designed digital services and innovative solutions that make everyday life easier.

My versatile designer toolkit contains knowledge of service design methods, graphic design and web technologies. Design thinking, iterative agile development, prototypes and qualitative and quantitative research as part of the design process are inseparable aspects of my professional skillset. Previous job experience and working with people with special needs have expanded my people skills allowing me to understand users better, facilitate conversation and formulate concepts for stakeholders with various demands.

I am well-read on web accessibility guidelines; and strive for inclusivity in my work. Design for All principles is the basis of my design philosophy.
