About me
Hi! 😊I’m Roope Erkheikki, a third-year UX/UI Design student at the LAB Institute of Design.My background as a practical nurse in a group home for people with intellectual disabilities taught me the true meaning of encountering every person as an individual. This mindset continues to guide my design thinking today.
