a few words about me​

Hello!
I'm an illustrator and graphic designer specializing in visually communicating about animals, the environment and other current societal issues. I love to design visual identities, logos, layouts, infographics, illustrations and surface patterns for both digital and print purposes. When I'm not illustrating or designing I'm mainly hanging out with dogs and friends.
I’m fluent in both Finnish and Swedish and have very good skills in English. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have a project in mind!
