Juho Karhu
Product Designer
I design, code and ship digital products with over 15 years of experience from various industries. I love creating great user experiences that align with business objectives and I use AI tools to raise the ceiling of what is possible.
Doconomy
Leading product design for a savings product for consumer banks with over 100 000 users around the world.
Juusto
I built a meal planner app called Juusto as a solo designer and developer. I first built it with Laravel and Vue, but moved over to AI tools to speed up the workflow.
As a side project, I wanted to explore a design language different from typical flat design and got inspired by my kitchen, cook books and art.
Stora Enso
Redesigning the world’s oldest company’s design system and facilitating the design system processes across cross-functional international teams. I updated UI components, colours and typography, guides, documentation and coded animations by hand with CSS.
Bromma
The world’s leading smart-spreader system needed a user-friendly UI.
My role was facilitating the complete design process in a cross-functional team consisting of developers and clients representatives to improve a leading heavy-industry IoT service.
InWell
I built a streaming platform from scratch for workouts as a solo designer and developer. I designed the whole experience and developed it in Laravel and React.
We kept improving it over the years and grew the user base with over 900%.
Hi, I'm a Product Designer who also loves code and building things. I started out as a Web Designer, so learning to code came naturally. What began with only HTML and CSS quickly grew into PHP, MySQL, Laravel, Vue and React and before long I was building digital products end-to-end.
These days I work mostly in a design role, but I still love getting my hands on code, and with AI tools I can now iterate, prototype and ship things faster than ever. My experience gives me a thorough understanding of the whole product cycle: business needs and user research, prototyping, workshop facilitation, leading and working in cross-functional teams, UX and UI design, coding front and back end, and shipping and maintaining a product long after launch. I thrive best in small teams, even if it is part of larger organization, where I can put as many of my skills to use as possible.
In my free time, I love spending time with my family, books, playing games, and cooking food or baking bread.
