Designer

As a small child I already knew that I would become “a bit like Marimekko”. I became a textile artist and “a bit more”. I graduated as a textile artist from the University of Art and Design Helsinki in 1992. My final project was a textile work of art where copper thread was the choice of material. The centre of gravity later switched to the designing of textile utility articles. In my current employment, starting from 1998, I work as the head of the design department at the Novia University of Applied Sciences, www.kreativastudier.fi. In addition to my work at the school I also design patterns for the industry, print fabrics, design textile products and arrange exhibitions.
