ABOUT ME
I am a Helsinki-based designer currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Visual Communication Design. I am intrigued by how design can effectively convey information, ideas and identities in ways that are both impactful and inspiring. My interests span brand identities, marketing design, publication design, packaging design and motion graphics.
As a visual person my passion for graphic design stems from seeking opportunities to fulfill and challenge myself in new creative ways while using my knowledge to benefit others. I am especially skilled in Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign — during both my current and previous studies, I have studied theory and implementation of fundamental design principles in a wide range from packaging design to website layout design and a bit of animation. I am constantly looking to evolve in a wide and versatile scale, both refining and expanding my knowledge and skillset as a designer.
I have previously interned at strategic brand and product marketing agency MacWell and brand and marketing agency N2 Albiino, supporting lead creatives and art directors across a range of client projects from concept development to design and prototyping. My responsibilities have included graphic design, layout design for digital and print materials, image sourcing and editing, illustration, assisting with photoshoots and art direction, some motion graphics and website layout design. After completing my internship at N2 Albiino, I stayed on for a few more months before returning to complete my studies.
In my spare time I enjoy film and music and I find myself often inspired by these in my personal work as poster design is a major hobby of mine. To wind myself down I enjoy taking long walks in nature, preferably somewhere by the ocean.
