Creative Lead & designer — Helsinki

I build the rules — and lead by doing.

I am a designer and creative lead based in Helsinki. Eight years of brand work — identities, campaigns, exhibitions and everything in between — mostly for companies where the details get looked at closely. I work end to end, and I still make things myself.

What I do

Brand systems

Identities other people can actually use: typography, grid, image language, and the rules that hold it together as a company grows.

Hands-on craft

Typography, layout, art direction, motion and print. I still make the work, not just review it.

Leading partners

I brief and steer agencies, studios and production crews. I can say what is not working in a way that makes the next version better, not just different.

ToolsFigma, InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop daily. After Effects, Premiere Pro and generative tools when the work calls for it.
