Good evening, I’m

Harri Halonen

Product designer shaping research-led services with civic, health, and emerging tech teams.

I help cross-functional groups untangle complex problems, share what we learn in plain language, and steward experiences that feel considered.

  • Bring clarity: Facilitate discovery research and synthesis that highlight the needs behind the numbers.
  • Prototype together: Explore flows, interactions, and service touchpoints alongside the people who rely on them.
  • Support delivery: Maintain lightweight systems and rituals so teams can iterate with confidence.
Currently supporting teams full-time and welcoming thoughtful collaborations and conversations.

How I support teams

Discovery to clarity

Bring people together around real problems by planning research, synthesising insights, and framing opportunities with service maps and JTBD.

Prototype to proof

Explore flows, interfaces, and content in quick cycles—testing with the communities we design for before committing to build.

Scale the craft

Nurture design rituals, systems, and handoffs that help teams move with care, accessibility, and shared context.

Toolkit: discovery research, facilitation, information architecture, interaction design, design systems, accessibility, analytics, experimentation.

Selected case studies
