Originally from Estonia; I am a New York based interaction designer with background in architecture. My career spans over 20 years in the industry building products, digital experiences, brands and simply fun and engaging things people love to use.




For over 8 years I served as a creative director at Fantasy Interactive living in Stockholm, Sweden and New York City. Since 2014 I create things at Anton & Irene studio which I co-founded in Brooklyn with Irene Pereyra. I’ve spoken at over 50 conferences around the world as well as teach on a regular basis at Harbour Space university in Barcelona, Spain.

Despite all of the above, this site is a showcase of my personal design experiments, concepts and design thinking, and are all things that I create during my spare time.
