creating something new
doing good for the people
visualising / graphic design
content creation and digital marketing

PERSONAL PROFILE
I was born in 1992.
I grew up on a farm in Iitti, Finland.
Currently living in Jyväskylä, Finland.
​
I laugh a lot! I also ask the silly questions no-one else wants to ask. I love furry things, snakes, arts & crafts and bullet journaling. I have a bit of a nerdy and silly humor, please bare with me.
