The 68-page publication includes three texts in Finnish and English, as well as reproductions and details of the artworks. Side by side each artwork is a list of the microorganisms that appear in them.

PUBLICATION DESIGN
Book design for the novel Tuhatkaunokin tuho by Jaakko Yli-Juonikas.
Covering themes such as the end of the world and the end of literature itself, the book combines and shuffles different texts and documents into an A4-sized block. The book contains 540 pages and is set in 34 different typefaces.
As an object the book is thread-bound, but it has no covers, exposing the pages to dirt and wear. The cover image is added as a sticker on the cover page.

BOOK DESIGN
A large artist book consisting of 15 woven textiles that each portray different aspects of the visual form of text.
The words text and textile are both derived from the same Latin root: texere, ‘to weave’. Before the age of literacy and written history, information and stories were saved into textiles using different patterns and motifs—now that task is carried by text. In addition to the etymological connection, text and textile also have similarities in their visual form, structure and texture.
I designed and produced the book as part of my Master’s Thesis in Visual Communication Design at Aalto University. The thesis studies the form of text: what does text look like and how do we recognise something as text even if we cannot read it? As a comparison and companion to text, I chose its etymological sibling: textile

ARTISTIC RESEARCH
Festival catalog in the form of playing cards for Baltic Circle, an international theatre festival with an annually changing visual identity.
The cards give people a reason to spend time with each other, also long after the festival. Two texts run through the numeral cards, and each of the festival’s performances have their own card.
The visual identity concept was formed around the idea of having a crush on someone and wanting to make a good impression. In the playing cards the object of admiration is a swamp and all of its inhabitants. The court cards and jokers portray different birds, insects, plants, mushrooms and bacteria that live in swamplands.
Designed together with Iisa Pappi.

Logo and package design for the jewellery brand Taikuro that makes jewellery inspired by works of art.
On the cover of each package is a reproduction of the actual artwork that has inspired the piece of jewellery within that package. In order to give full attention to the work of art, the Taikuro logo is debossed on the cover material, instead of printing it with ink.

VISUAL IDENTITY
Visual identity and exhibition graphics for What a machine! (Fin. On se kone!), the new permanent exhibition of Sarka – The Finnish Museum of Agriculture.
What a machine! tells the story of the mechanization of Finnish agriculture and its social impact from the early 20th century to the present day. The exhibition features machinery related to agricultural work, such as tractors from different decades.
The visual identity and material choices were inspired by farms and machines themselves: shiny tractors and their logos, raw materials and dusty surfaces. The graphic design and exhibition architecture were designed as a collaborative process together with architect Antti Auvinen.

Publication design for Access Riders, a collaborative project by artists Jessie Bullivant and Jemina Lindholm, published by Frame Contemporary Art Finland as a printed publication and an accessible pdf.
An access rider is written by an individual, and can be shared when one is invited to take part in a project or any working relationship. It can work as a starting point for a conversation between the inviter and invitee about the accessibility of a certain situation.
