3rd PLACE IN FINLAND’S NATIONAL COIN DESIGN CONTEST
I took part in Finland’s national coin design competition, a field I hadn’t worked in before. I was curious to challenge myself creatively, especially as the theme truly inspired me: the 100th anniversary of Yle, Finland’s national public broadcasting company.
I’m honored to share that my design, “Yle kaikille aisteille (Yle for All Senses)”, was awarded third place!
The design celebrates Yle’s 100th anniversary by combining emotion and reality, sight and sound, while expressing that Yle belongs to everyone. It touches, resonates, and connects.
PRINTOCENT INNOFEST 2025: CREATIVE DESIGNER ROLE

I was honoured to be part of a brilliant team that received the Wildest Idea award. Full credit goes to the original idea owners, whom we supported with our diverse expertise. Grateful for the chance to collaborate, learn, and contribute in such an inspiring, future-focused setting.
FEATURED BY FINNISH DESIGNERS
In May 2025, I had the honour of being featured by Finnish Designers, a platform that showcases creative talent from Finland.
