I am a writer from Oulu and an experienced performer. I have published two works: the poetry collection *I Do Not Recommend the Path I Have Travelled* (2026) and the novel *The Bridge Builder* (2023). I have been performing my poetry at various events since 2000. I have performed not only in clubs, libraries, cultural centres and schools, but also at festivals, amongst other venues. I am also open to performing in unusual venues.

I am also a sauna artist. I perform poetry in saunas.

I can be booked to perform at cultural events, schools or corporate functions, for example. I tailor the content of my performance to the client’s wishes, the target audience, the size of the group, the age of the participants and the time allocated for the visit.

I have worked as a regional artist for literature and as the executive director of the Oulu Writers’ Society. I have helped to organise, amongst other things, the Oulu Muusajuhlat literary arts festival, the Oulu Book Fair and other smaller events.

I can write commissioned poems about specific people. If required, I can lead short writing workshops.
