Hey there!

I’m Harri Halonen, an experience designer rooted in Tampere, Finland. I help multidisciplinary teams turn research insights into digital products and services that feel considerate, inclusive, and genuinely useful.

These days my work spans product discovery, service design, and strategy for industrial, public sector, and healthcare projects. I run field research, facilitate co-creation, and iterate on prototypes so teams can make confident, evidence-based decisions.

• Recent focus: Leading discovery sprints, design ops, and product experiments for cross-functional teams exploring industrial XR, AI-assisted tooling, and connected services.
• Academic highlight: My 2021 master’s thesis, Interaction Design Principles for Industrial XR
  for Tampere University’s HCI program continues to guide how I blend emerging tech with humane experiences.
• Community: I stay active in the Finnish design and startup scene through volunteering, mentoring, and speaking—building on organising roles with events like Stream Startup Festival.
• Off the screen: Capturing everyday stories on film and keeping my basketball game sharp keep me energised.

Thanks for stopping by—it truly means a lot. If you’d like to chat, send me an email or grab time via my open calendar
