Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolJanne Aukia is a Helsinki-based product designer and founder with 16 years of experience turning complex, data‑heavy problems into usable products and interfaces for decision-making. He combines hands-on UX/UI and front-end implementation (React, TypeScript, D3, WebGL) with product leadership, analytics setup, and user research—often stepping into engineering to ship prototypes and production features himself. As owner of Simplicity and former VP of Product & Design at Robocorp, he has helped startups scale design teams, align product strategy with execution, and create developer-focused tooling and dashboards. He also builds AI tools for brand and UI design at Duotone and advises new humanities-focused startups, reflecting a rare mix of technical depth, visual craft, and cultural curiosity. An early contributor to front-end tooling like the zoomooz jQuery plugin, he’s comfortable across the full product lifecycle from concept to analytics-driven optimization.
