What Drives My Work
I’m a curious designer who loves how culture, communication, and visual language shape how people experience the world. I enjoy turning shared insights into thoughtful, human-centered designs that feel authentic and meaningful.
Studying and working in Paris strengthened my passion for designing with diverse audiences in mind — collaborating across cultures always adds a new layer of perspective and “spice” to the ideas we create together.
Outside design, you’ll probably find me exploring cafés, museums, vintage stores and hidden restaurant gems in Paris or Helsinki, collecting inspiration from everyday culture. I’m often running around the city with my black poodle Pepe, who joins me everywhere and insists on being my loyal design assistant.
