Pirkanmaa, Tampere
Hello! I'm Elina Johanna Ahonen, a visual storyteller, also known as an illustrator and graphic designer from Tampere. My illustrations usually have expressive characters, a clear colour palette and a playful style. I like to combine light animation with my pictures. In graphic design, I trust simplicity and I feel that I have succeeded in my task when a complex message is in an accessible form.
I am particularly good at creating expressive and approachable characters, and making light animations. My illustrations have been used in campaigns and as part of the visual appearance of organizations. They are also suitable for children's books and culture. In addition to the illustrations, I can handle the entire graphic design of the project (printed products and digital publications).
I appreciate clear schedules and fair agreements that are created together. I work in Finnish and English. I recommend following my latest projects on Instagram. Represented in Lilith co-operative (www.lilith.fi).
