About

I am Katariina Nikkilä, a 27-year-old cultural manager from Jyväskylä, Finland. I work across photography, event production, and community projects, focusing on creative collaboration and meaningful experiences.

In addition to my hands-on work, I co-founded a culture organization that operates an arthouse in Jyväskylä, providing a platform for artists within the local arts scene. I thrive in third spaces where creativity meets community, and I’m looking for new opportunities to collaborate. I’m also happy to say that in 2025 i’m one of the board members of The Centre of Creative Photography (Luovan valokuvauksen keskus) in Jyväskylä. My experience ranges from photography and cultural production to communications, graphic design, editing, marketing and administrative tasks. I’m flexible and carry positive mindset with me!
