ABOUT  ME

Intro
I’m glad you found your way to my site! I’m Mirka, a graphic designer from Helsinki, Finland. I specialize in Editorial Design, but also greatly enjoy Illustration, Branding, and expanding my skill set.

My works are defined by their clear frameworks and deliberate visuals. It’s not just about looking nice: I need to know why and for whom I’m designing. I’m passionate about finding the right combinations of colors, type, and imagery to send the desired message.
Experience
I have years of experience as a freelance designer, working with clients of different sizes. Recently, I’ve also been the Art Director for the business students’ association at Aalto University and a visual journalist at the newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet.

You can view my résumé in your preferred language by clicking here: English / Finnish / Swedish.
Background
I hold a bachelor’s degree in Journalism and both a bachelor’s and master’s degree in Graphic Design.

I have a broad interest in the world—visual and otherwise—which is reflected in the subjects I’ve minored in over the years. They include Political Science, Film and Television Studies, and Pattern Design. My curiosity helps me find diverse sources of inspiration, and to design with quality, balance, playfulness, and attention to detail in mind.
Interests
My current professional passions include Print Design in general and Editorial Design in particular, Illustration, Pattern Design, Branding, Identity Design, and Website Design—but I’m always open to new challenges.

In my personal life, I enjoy films and television, the New York Times crossword, trivia games, meeting new people, and yoga.
