Creative, driven, meticulous and hard-working. I am a passionate, initiative taking conceptual thinker and graphic designer, who talks more than the average Finnish person.
Currently I work as a Freelance Graphic Designer, always looking for new exciting collaborations.
My most recent work experience was at tcc, working with a range of different clients in the retail world; creating pitches and presentations for new product ranges for clients, mostly in home cookware. I also worked closely with packaging design, creating artwork concepts on cutterguides plus retouching photography.
Before my position at tcc, I worked as a Middleweight Graphic Designer at UCFB, where I worked mostly in editorial, print and branding - mainly looking over and designing their magazine production. In addition of being part of the marketing team, I also designed merchandising, branded company facilities and created presentations, graphic templates and guidelines for the company.
My experience in the advertising world was as a Creative Intern at McCann Worldgroup Milan, where I worked on the Nespresso Global Team, taking part in creating the "Awaken Your Senses- campaign". At this position I was assisting the art directors in all aspects of pre and post production of the campaign from start to finish.
I completed my BA degree in Graphic Design & Art Direction at Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti (NABA) in Milan in 2017, graduating with Honours.
Being Finnish, but having lived in England for three years and in Milan for four, I have required an international outlook on life and am very keen on new challenges.
I am passionate about design, creativity, advertising, magazines and travelling. I like simple and strong design, with a unique twist. Editorial design, Branding, Advertising and Creative Thinking are my strongest fields, for which I seek inspiration for daily from multiple diverse outlets.
My motto is "Stay inspired."
