CURIOSITY & TIME — the two main ingredients for creative problem solving.
Throw on top an understanding of what makes visual language talk and code beautiful, and you are remarkably close to my vision of a good digital designer. More conventional skills help, too.

This portfolio showcases personal projects and previous works, ranging from graphic and web design to illustration. My most recent work for Magis Multimedia is featured in my employer's client list. I also have some coding projects on github and like to help others on various stackexchange wikis.

Color snap

Project Game concept and pitch sheet, self-initiated Role Idea, visual design, layout

The game idea for color snap is simple: Find a color with the camera of your phone and snap it. Players get points on color-accuracy of their snaps. The game poses an engaging and playful challenge between friends and can be played wherever you and your friends are at. The development of the game concept and the above pitch sheet was guided by guest lecturers from one of Finland's top mobile game development houses, Rovio, as a course work in my bachelor studies at in Digital Art.

Stella

Project CD illustration and layout, posters for finnish band Stella Client Stella, Elements Music Producer Jani Jalonen Role Digital illustration, layout, print prepress

This CD design for Finnish pop band Stella called for a sensitive reflection upon the title Pelkääjän paikalla, which roughly translates as in the spot of the frightened. The booklet features a double sided cover showcasing the eiry illustration of either a female or male face. The booklet inside and packaging reflects this cold and icy feel further.

Turun Restaurointi Keskus

Project Visual identity & website Client Turun Restaurointi Keskus
(Turku University of Applied Sciences) Role Logo design, web design, web development, CMS implementation

The center for restoration of old wood buildings is as much an educational division at the Turku University of Applied Sciences as it is a source of information and tradesman knowledge. My logo design won a student competition by conveying the reuse and restoration of buildings in a clear and elegant emblem. The co-operation was extended into designing and coding a website with information about center and its activities.
