About me

To Whom it may concern,

I'm a 23 year old Graphic & Multimedia designer, from Finland now based in London's Camden Town.

Below is information about my experience & education.
I have over 2 years of experience as a designer, starting from 2009. I did a 4 month long internship at Basso magazine in Helsinki, Finland where my main duties were magazine layout, photo editing and web content maintenance. After that I was hired to an advertising agency (Mediakolmio Advertising & Broadcasting) as an Art Director Assistant. I focused in print production (advert layouts, brochures, and print post production: printing, creasing & cutting) & photo editing. Throughout college, I've also done various type of freelance work. For example, I recently founded a website focusing on Nordic design news: *

I finished my BA in spring of 2011 and soon after that was working as a Designer at a London based b2b communications firm: Mulberry marketing communications. We had 6 different clients and I worked for all of them. I did everything in brand design to online newsletter.
In January 2011 I started a postgraduate course at the University of the Arts London focusing on Digital design (my Master thesis will be ready in a few weeks). During this time I've worked as a part-time designer (at Diginate).

I master Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign to a high level. In digital graphics I am competent in Web design (xhtml & css) and Flash animation and video editing (Final cut & Motion). I like to work with Macs but can handle a PC just as well. Please see the attached resume for more details on my education.

I have been credited as a pleasant and professional co-worker. I have great references from my employers and teachers. I consider myself nice, sociable and responsible. My hobbies include guitar, snowboarding and sailing and I'm a big music fan. My English is fluent. Finnish is my first language and I also speak Swedish. I think my biggest strengths are my social skills: I communicate very well with the clients & co-workers. I have never missed a deadline, and I'm proud to say I always aim to deliver the highest quality for the customer.

I follow the trends in graphics & social media and I'm always aiming to develop myself. Being Nordic, I'm straight forward - I enjoy working more than chitchatting.
