Laura Haapamäki
Hi! I'm Laura Haapamäki (she/her), an illustrator and graphic designer with my own small business in Rovaniemi, Lapland. I love to illustrate things that don't exist and imagine what they would look like. I love fantasy, history and children's book illustrations. I have illustrated several children's books and also created various marketing illustrations. I do all my professional work with Adobe Photoshop. Due to my background in graphic design and video production, I understand the technical requirements for images in various media. I work remotely for clients around Finland and abroad. I speak Finnish and English.
In my free time I do yoga and play video games.
My focus is illustrating fantastical and imaginary things with Adobe Photoshop. I am also good with Illustrator, InDesign and Premiere Pro and I can do basic 3D modeling with Blender.

This image was inspired by Ounasvaara area in my home town Rovaniemi. The location really exists, but does this little troll really live there?
I painted this in Photoshop, 2023.
