About me
I am a Helsinki based graphic designer and illustrator. During daytime I work in a design agency Werklig and on my free time I do illustrations and participate in all kinds of projects.
As an illustrator I am represented by Pekka Finland.
I have graduated (BA) from the University of Art and Design Helsinki both, from the department of fashion design and graphic design. In between I spent a year in Copenhagen working for a Danish clothing label Punk Royal. I also had my own T-shirt label "Girls of Boredom" for several years (RIP).
