About

Hello!

I’m a 1990 born Graphic Designer, Illustrator and Character Artist from Finland. I’ve studied Graphic Design, Design Management and Game Design in the University of Lapland and have worked as a Graphic Designer, Illustrator and a Freelance Artist since.

When it comes to graphic design I specialize in logo design, branding and webdesign, and have worked in all of those for several companies and individuals.

As well as working as a freelancer, which has been mostly a solitary job, I’ve also done voluntary work for many years as an illustrator and graphic designer for non-profit conventions. In these projects I’ve been a part of many different teams, both as an Art Director and in junior and senior positions. For them I’ve done character design and sheets, character skin concept art, VTuber design, program book layouts, logo design, all sorts of other illustrations and social media directives.

In the future I would love to make art for games, including TTRPGs or board games!
