This blog deals with topics of usability – or the lack thereof. Abuser interfaces as I once wittily put it. My educational background is in usability engineering where I hold an M.Sc. (Tech.) degree. I’ve also acquired an EMBA degree to be able to say that I understand something about business.

The content is mostly in Finnish but I might write in English whenever I imagine the topic be more broadly interesting. These articles can be found under the category In English.

The beginning of my gmail.com address is matias.pietila. Now that Twitter is dead, I mainly post professionally on Linkedin. You can call me at +358505060201.

I offer design and digital product consulting through my company Next Time Design. It tends to be a pretty good deal: you don’t have to pay for full time but you will still have my full expertise at your service.
