Kuka olen?

Rakastan elokuvia, matkustamista, luontoa, koiria, live-musiikkia, teatteria, taidetta, kulttuuria, kesää ja ketsuppia.

About me
I’ve always been jealous of people who know exactly what they want to be when they grow up. I still sort of don’t know. I want(ed) to be everything: an artist, a photographer, an investigative journalist, a veterinarian, a designer, a fantasy book writer, a screenplay writer, a set designer, a casting agent, a movie director, a children’s book writer, or just a free-spirited traveler living on the road in a cute little van with my adventurous doggo buddy.
It’s been a very confusing thing to live with (but the ADHD diagnose I received quite later in life certainly explains some things!)
These days, I’m pleased with how things have turned out. It hasn’t been an easy road and I’ve struggled with my mental health and finances along the way, but I’ve made it this far and it is awesome. I’ve experienced a lot, made tons of mistakes and learned from them, and gained a pretty liberal view of the world the further I traveled in life.
I’ve stopped dreaming about that one perfect career, and instead found new, satisfying goals to motivate me. And whatever I end up doing for my living, I’m always going to be fighting for equality 🏳️🌈 among people and the well-being of animals and wildlife 🐻
(Especially dogs. Because dogs are the greatest achievement of the human race.)
In my work…
…I always aim to do my best and deliver the absolute top tier results for my clients. I love creative challenges and find endless joy in photography, arts and graphic design. I am the complete opposite of a paparazzi: I respect my subjects and their privacy, and try to discover their personality and unique beauty in the brief time we might work together.

And one day, I hope to change the world a little bit. To make it a little bit better for those who deserve it.
