About me
I am a London-based freelance filmmaker originally from Finland, with a proven track record in independent short film and music video production as well as production design. With four years of dedicated industry experience, I have honed my craft through education and hands-on projects. I pursued Film & Television Producing at MetFilm School, followed by a BA in Contemporary Media Practice from the University of Westminster. Most recently, I graduated with first-class honours from the London Film Academy with a BA in Filmmaking. I have directed up to six short films and contributed as a freelance production designer to numerous shorts and a feature film. My professional journey includes internships with various production companies and independent producers, enriching my understanding of diverse development processes within the film and television industry. I am very ambitious about continuing to contribute to the world of Film & TV development, leveraging my unique blend of artistic vision and industry knowledge.
