Hello and welcome! I'm Juha, an illustrator and a designer based in Helsinki, Finland.

I have a strong background in illustration, graphic design, and UI/UX design. My practice combines design thinking with artistic experimentation, and I often explore new technologies in my art. I'm an iPad art pioneer and currently exploring virtual reality as a tool for illustration and animation. Ethical and ecological values are important to me, and they also guide my work. 

I'm a full-time freelance illustrator and designer. I've also worked in the video game industry as a marketing artist and in a design agency as a graphic designer focusing on visual identities, brands, and accessible UI/UX design. I have experience in large and small projects and can work both in a team and as a solo designer. I'm always looking for cool new projects, so feel free to contact me if you have an idea where we could collaborate!
