Photography started out as a hobby and has evolved into a profession alongside graphic design, especially in the music industry. Now I specialize in photographing live music and creative portraits.

From academic illustrations to portrait paintings to darker-themed album cover arts for metal bands. I have a very mixed bag of tools to turn ideas into something fresh. Currently, my illustration work focuses on album covers and personal art.
Professional graphic designer since 2012. I've had my experiences as a freelancer, and entrepreneur and by working for bigger brands like Verkkokauppa.com Oyj. I'm strongest in branding and web design but also experienced in digital marketing and print design. I have a slight fixation on building all creative assets so that they are highly editable, due to my former experience as a freelance designer making templates, mockups, and other creative tools for other creatives to use.
As a Video Content Specialist at Verkkokauppa.com, I manage all the video content in our digital signage systems, online, and on TV. I also edit videos and sometimes even shoot some video content. Outside of my day job, I shoot music videos, live events, and product ads. Create motion graphics for live events, digital video ads, or make Lottie animations for websites under the name Samael Creative, which is part of my company called Morbid North.
Interested in hearing more? I'm currently open to new opportunities after working with the amazing marketing team at Verkkokauppa.com. My current position is highly focused in managing and producing video content, but I'm also interested in other graphic design and web design opportunities. Due to being from an entrepreneurial household, I'm not able to move out of Helsinki anytime soon, but I have a home office and am happy to work remotely in Finnish or English and I'm happy to learn new languages as well if the opportunity and need arises.
I believe I would be a great asset, especially for start-up companies looking for a multiskilled senior-level creative.
