About me
From broken umbrellas to filling the stage
At 5 years old my favourite umbrella broke. Instead of throwing it away I decided to make it into a skirt and wore it where ever I went. That's my earliest memory of creating clothes. I remember my grandmother knitting socks and my mom sewing clothes for us. I grew up believing that a sewing machine is as normal of an household item than an oven or a washing machine.
I've always been drawn to theatre and its many forms. And my love for the art form only deepened when I went from being on stage to being in the creative team. The idea of creating worlds that take us to a different place for a moment is still to this day a very magical one for me.
I got my masters in theatre science from the University of Helsinki with a costume design minor at the Aalto university. During my studies I focused especially on immersive theatre in its many forms, costumes, film and tv.
