I am a visual artist, woodcarver and facilitator of creative methods from Tampere. My work combines art, hands-on creation and building a sense of community. I design and run participatory workshops where the focus is not on artistic skill but on working together in a safe environment and discovering one’s own creativity.

I work primarily with wood and natural materials. I believe that hands-on work enhances wellbeing, reduces feelings of loneliness and fosters new connections between people.

I have extensive experience of facilitating groups, both within companies and various communities. I design workshops that combine art, mindfulness, participation and a sense of community.
