BIO
I’m a freelance lighting designer (MA, Theatrical Arts) based in Helsinki, Finland. I work with contemporary performances, concerts and events ranging from small underground clubs to festivals. In 2022 I received the Valosäde award for the lighting design of Cie Nuua’s Vaarna -performance.
I love the first creative part of projects as much as the technical development of them. As my greatest strengths I see the ability to combine detailed artistic visions with complex technical systems and communicating my ideas using realistic sketches.
Sometimes I use also video in my designs, which interests me more as an intelligent light source and living set element than source of information.
I'm always looking for new adventures so feel free to contact me! If I’m not answering right away I’m probably busy with some awesome project or catching waves in someplace warm. I have still some time available during the spring of 2025 and plenty during the autumn.
