Inspiration isn’t something that is univocal.

There are plenty of matters that can have an influence on inspiration, but mainly I draw my inspiration from the Finnish nature, and from the urban surroundings.

I also keep myself curious towards new things by actively following different kind of medias and various fields of culture, also outside my professional field.

Sometimes the inspiration evolves from the music I listen to or a film I see, sometimes a piece of art of a talented artist or work of a colleague inspirits me to create.

It is hard to describe one’s own style, but what I’ve heard is that my print designs are tender and delicate yet strong.

I think about practicality a lot, because I want to create products for the real people with their real everyday life.

I have a background in designing smaller objects in various materials.

I have knowledge of wide range of different materials and techniques with spatial intelligence.

Designing practical everyday products and thus helping people in their everyday life is what drives me.

I just cannot pick only one!
My favourite pieces from our most recent leather bag collection are Joki and Alicia.
Joki is a briefcase and also a crossbody bag. Alicia is a practical and beautiful wallet with pleasant-to-open zipper on the outside and card pockets inside.

For myself to use, I like Kanto briefcase! It has timeless design and clever practicality.

First, we think about collection structure and what kind of products we want to include it.

Then in the creative sketching phase, we search solutions fearlessly. After that we decide which sketches are developed further to prototypes and finally to samples.

The process includes a lot of hard decision making along with creative work. It is team work and collaboration between different professionals: designers, salespeople and technical pros.
