I was born in northern Finland. Ever since I was a child I wanted to be an illustrator so after finished school I head over to art school. I have degrees on Visual arts from Lybecker Institute of crafts and design and BA from children´s book illustration from North Wales school of art and design. I have also studied art history, folklore and cultural anthropology (which is my other passion). Currently I am working as a freelance illustrator, artist, online educator and a folklorist. 

​ I have an impressive collection of 19th century girl books, Beauty and the Beast ornaments and Don Rosa´s comics.
