I am a clothing design student from University of Lapland, Finland. In my designs I cherish the Lappish nature and heritage - as I have been born and lived most of my life in Lapland - but I strive for bringing them into more contemporary look. Thus, combining the past and the present is very essential in my designs.

I am inspirated by our four seasons, lappish fauna and flora, therefore I always keep my camera (or iPhone) in my pocket.

Textile and interior design is my minor subject and I am very pleased to have this opportunity to widen my designing skills to that particular area as well.

For me the surroundings where I am are a huge inspiration. There are lots of beauty in rough environments - it’s just a matter of how you’re looking at them.

This portfolio is an insight to my latest projects.

Hope you enjoy it!

TRADITIONS AND INNOVATIONS INTERNATIONAL WORKSHOP SPRING 2015

Our task was to design and complete an outfit from reindeer leather in smaller groups of 2-3 persons. This jacket is my group’s vision of a versatile biker jacket with removable sleeves and hem. Many thanks to Susanna Mäklin and Tomas Baranauskas for co-operation.

On the left are some photos of the final outcome. It has been presented in Christmas Creation- Global Fashion Show & Exhibition in China in 2015 and in Arctic Fashion Show held in Rovaniemi 2016.

I participated in an international workshop held in Rovaniemi and Inari in 2015. The workshop gathered design students from Estonia and Iceland to Rovaniemi, where we held our headquarters during the event.

The workshop was devided into two groups of clothing designers and innovative product designers.

This is a project that I designed during Functionality course; a men’s ski jacket for professional skiers.

The jacket includes e.g. PFC free membrane fabric and Sense Core electrodes measuring 13 different body values such as ECG, calories, body temperature, distance and speed. The PFC free material designed by Toyota Tsusho for Arnitel VT is 100% recyclable, highly breathable and light weight as well.

The prototype of the ski jacket is made of cotton fabric. There are two one-hand drawstrings on the sides of the hood and one at the back of the head, and integrated ventilations as well on the collar area.

Middle photo. The leather is cut and carved with laser in order to receive a lacy look to the surface.

This method makes the leather more flexible and see-through as well.

Right photo. The leather is manipulated by folding little stripes onto another peace of leather.
