Kristiina Seppä
I am an illustrator and graphic designer from Pori. I get excited by stories and I want each of my illustrations to convey a narrative. My style is realistic, but my love for fantasy and other speculative fiction shines through my work.
I am available both for short and long projects. I am especially passionate about illustrating and designing for books, magazines, albums, events, stickers and other stationery / paper products, and different video, board, and roleplaying game projects. Feel free to ask me about projects outside of these interests as well.
My clients include both corporate entities and private individuals. Please, do contact me for example for your self-published book's cover. I am also keen on working with different organizations who strive for example for equality, inclusivity, and accessibility.
Kristiina Seppä (she/her)
I am specialized in expressive and inclusive illustrations of people, but I also enjoy subjects such as animals and nature, and different challenges client work might bring to my table.
I mainly work digitally. My artworks are always intricate and painted in large scale, so my clients are able to produce even sizable prints.
I also work with graphic design and animations.
