About me
I’m a Finnish designer who moved to Switzerland in 2015 after some years in Australia and Singapore. Piece of my heart lives in all the countries we've been.
I love creating ideas, images and design plans for digital and physical platforms. I've worked as Interaction and Concept Designer in marketing and media companies such as Ogilvy and SBS Media. Recently I've been doing visual design for Cockatoo Collection, a homeware company based in Melbourne. In Australia I was also working at Fjord design and innovation consultancy as a freelancer in a Service Design project. At the moment I'm working on a book about life abroad for other families who are living or are planning to live abroad.
I aim to make experiences that involve and inspire people. The outcomes have been for example web services & campaigns and printed products. The clients have been from industries like retail, real estate, media, health care, telco, logistics, high tech, education, gender equality advocacy and peace building.
In addition to design I'm interested in psychology and well-being. I enjoy being in the nature and with my family, exploring new places and capturing moments.
