I’ve been studying and experimenting with different design styles and techniques since 2016. My educational background includes graphic design, marketing and most recently, programming.
I've been drawing since the very first moment I could hold a pen. In 2016, my creative journey kicked off with illustrations, leading me eventually to illustrate for diverse projects — books, newspapers, magazines, album covers, brand images, festival visuals — you name it! My hand-drawn animation art has been displayed around Europe in various art events and my visual arts have also been seen around Finland in different kinds of exhibitions.
I am a very curious person. About ten years ago, I dipped my toe into the wild world of web design for the first time. I introduced myself to different kinds of website builders out there and just started building. Over the years, I have crafted websites for various customers and gained knowledge of web design and usability.
My educational background is in marketing, holding a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Marketing. So, I do have some understanding from branding and business. However, let's park that for now and focus on my design.
I also hold a degree from Pekka Halonen School of Arts and Design. After graduating, I worked as a graphic designer and, every once in a while, as a visual artist. I've designed fabric patterns and created a small hand-drawn animation that circulated at art and movie festivals across Europe.
As said, I had been designig websites for some time already, and in 2022 I applied to a Full-Stack developing Bootcamp course, got in, and ever since I have been working in Fujitsu Finland. At first I was a Software Developer in a low-code team, but quite soon it turned out that the most natural position for me is to design UIs. So, most days, you'll find me rocking it as a UI/UX designer.
