I'm a Turku-based Finnish animator and artist with a preference for traditional animation and illustration techniques. I'm looking for jobs in the creative industry with an open mind while pursuing my own artistic goals. I work remotely from my home studio. I'm primarily interested in illustration work, character animation and storyboarding. I'm used to independent working. I have experience with Adobe's software, Krita, Clip Studio Paint and Rebelle. For animation I use TvPaint, Animation Paper, Tahoma2d and Moho. I also do illustrations traditionally with pencils and inks.
