About

Hi, I'm Sander Solvak, a designer based in Tallinn, Estonia with 20+ years of experience working on and around screens—creating products, interfaces, systems, and processes.

I strive to find clarity in ambiguity and build solutions that are elegant and considered. I want to leave the things I work on better than I found them. I think of aesthetics as a feature, not an afterthought, and believe designers benefit from knowing how things are built.

My background in brand, layout, and print design shaped how I approach hierarchy, visual clarity, and cross-medium consistency. I now focus on product and UI design for complex platforms—working across design systems, interaction models, implementation, and team tooling.

I'm currently Head of Design at Metsa. Before that, I was Principal Designer at Venturebeam. I still take on freelance work occasionally.

My time off is spent with movies, cooking, travelling, taking pictures, or on a bicycle.

Toward better.
