Anni Pärssinen sitting in light room, looking the text bext to her.Thoughtful woman with short blonde hair wearing a white shirt sitting on a wooden chair, looking to the side against a plain light background.

My background is visual, but what I'm really interested in is people — understanding what they need, and making sure that lands clearly for developers, business owners, and end users alike.

I've worked with blood cancer specialists, metro traffic controllers, startup founders, occupational health teams, and university researchers building democracy tools for municipalities. What they had in common: complex problems, real users.

I work best somewhere between strategy and execution, where things are still messy enough to be interesting.

FUNNY DETAIL ABOUT ME?

I haven't seen the movie Titanic.

* But I do know that there was a gate about the floating door in the last scene. I heard that it would have carried two people, so DiCaprio died for no reason.
