I’m a Helsinki-based lighting, space, and video designer, activist and performer.

I’m designing across a wide range of disciplines—from performing arts to public spaces. In my practice I aspire to intuitive spaces that evoke powerful subconscious and bodily responses.

Over the years, I’ve collaborated with numerous artists and collectives in Finland and abroad. My designs have appeared on stages and in settings of all scales—from intimate performances in people’s homes to large productions in city theatres. My experience also includes exhibition design.
