I'm an experienced and awarded art director, graphic designer and visual communication expert based in Helsinki. I have worked on large range of visual communication projects. I’m open for various kinds of design works. I love to do publication design: books, magazines, brochures and catalogues. I’m also well experienced in exhibition design, visual identities, communication redesign projects and consulting. I do web design, AR projects and motion graphics as well.
I have a functional approach to design. I think design should always consider the content and the audience. My design is a result of thorough thinking and understanding the essence of the goals of the project. Equally important for me is the beautiful outcome, it should never be compromised. I always execute my work carefully minding the smallest details of design and typography.
