Hi I’m Juha Liikala, a Finnish web developer, designer, blogger and founder of tiny digital product studio called Stripped Bare Studios. I’ve been building websites, products & software for a living since 2001.

In the past, I’ve freelanced, gone startup founder and worked for several software companies wearing many different hats (front-end, product design & more). For professional enquiries, find me on LinkedIn.

When I’m not tinkering with web stuff, I explore the world with my wife, spend time recharging outdoors, by the gym or just enjoy the everyday life and do some movie & series binge-watching.
