Visual artist & designer

I'm Anni, and imagination is my most important tool. I create illustrations, paintings and design projects, specializing in storytelling and details. I work internationally with people and companies who want to bring magic through art into this world.

My experience in the creative industry is diverse. I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from Aalto University in 2021. My major was design and I specialized in sustainable design and circular economy. Over the years, I have worked in various positions, gaining experience in visual and written communication, art and design projects as well as organizing exhibitions. Since 2024, I have been an entrepreneur and implementing projects, each of which has been incredibly rewarding and interesting.

I am open for art commissions, illustration- and design work!
