What do I do

My bread and butter is writing user-friendly copy for digital products and services, like mobile apps, B2B software and SaaS websites.

I’m truly passionate about making products delightful to use and helping users succeed while using them.

What about marketing?

What I’m like

I take pride, initiative and ownership over my work. I have eye for detail, produce release-ready content and honor deadlines. I tend to ask tough questions and I don’t shy away from challenging the status quo. I also have great taste in music.

How do I work

You can commission me for a specific project or as a continuous on-call virtual member of your team. I typically work part-time for several clients at the same time. I’ve seen that the best results are achieved when the UX writer gets involved before even the first lines of code are written.

I have been very happy to have opportunity to work with Tomi in several documentation related cases.

Tomi has a very good understanding how complex issues in user interfaces are communicated to the users in a simple and understandable way. The quality and the clarity of the design documentations have been highly appreciated. I have been happy to work with the guy who is that professional, flexible and easy to co-operate with.

Vesa Härkönen, CEO at Splended

Tomi was providing Finnish and English copywriting to our project where we built a mobile-only banking service from scratch. Tomi was responsible for producing copy and proper tone-of-voice for the customer facing communication in web, mobile, emails and SMSs.

Tomi’s work was always very precise, on-time and with the best quality even when there was ad-hoc needs with very limited time for delivery. Tomi is also easy to work with and does the work proactively, so it is easy for me to recommend him for any such jobs in the future!

Mikko Remes, Utopia Music

For several years, Tomi has been an invaluable source for insightful and informative texts that support our communications. He’s able to create interesting and relevant texts with only little direction and delivers what has been agreed.
