I'm a designer from Helsinki,Finland. My work is focused on products and interiors. I have degrees in carpentry, industrial design (BA, Lahti institute of Design) and applied art and design (MA, Aalto University).
I got nominated as a Nordic designer of the year in the Formex awards in Stockholm. At Habitare furniture fair I had my Crescent lamps on display for the first time at the curated Protoshop gallery. Also Pala was on display there as a part of the Innofusor booth.
I got the Toimittajien tusina award (The 12 best Finnish interior design products of the year 2016) from the Pala. I made my illustrator debut in collaboration with Double Happiness for Pori Jazz Festival's 2017 identity. The year was full of exhibitions and I really feel that things are advancing. Here's a comprehensive list: Nordic Me (Stockholm), Syyt - Wooden design (Lahti) and Beirut Design Week. Beirut was by far the most exiting, I HAD SUCH GOOD HUMMUS THERE OMG. Also my boyfriend moved in to my apartment this year.
Fun times ahead. The last few weeks of the year I travelled to Japan for the first time ever! I'm collaborating with a traditional paper company Taniguchi. I'm designing a product with them for 2017 Habitare's United Stories concept.
