Oona Mäkelä

Hi! I’m Oona Mäkelä and I work as an illustrator, print designer and graphic designer.
You’ll recognise my work by its skillful linework, interesting and vivid colour combinations and a good dose of humour. In my work I prefer to use brush and a pen nib dipped in black ink. Besides drawing on paper I'm fluent in digital working, for example vector.

In Finland I'm represented by Napa Agency. Please don't hesitate to get in touch – let's see how I can help you!

Print design, animation, poster design, event identities, branding, visual update, editorial illustration.
