Piia Keto
Hi! I am Piia Keto, a story-based illustrator. My work often features nature and a touch of imagination.
I grew up in Verla, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area's wonderful history, architecture, clear water and living in the middle of nature have greatly influenced my illustration style. I have a master's degree in textile design, so I’m also very good at pattern design.
I run popular mug workshops that everyone likes. I can draw customized illustrations for your company or community, with which you can illustrate the mugs yourself, for example, at the workplace during a recreation day.
Contact me if you have a project in mind that would suit my style.
Yours, Piia
I have good skills in pattern design and knowledge of many materials. I have illustrated ceramics, textiles, packaging and paper products as well as public spaces. I am also a very enthusiastic person – I love to learn new things.

Piilopaikka tableware series / Arabia
The customer ordered a retro-inspired illustration for the Arctica tableware series, which is one of Arabia’s best-selling series and the most owned series in Finland. Piilopaikka tells the story of a little girl adventuring in the forest. The forest is a scary, but at the same time fascinating place with many hiding places for both people and forest animals.

Art rug / Helsinki central library Oodi
Oodi Central Library ordered art carpets from seven illustrators for the brand new library to honor the famous figures of Finnish literature.
I chose Minna Canth as the person for my art mat, whose important work for equality has made a great impression on me. I started the process by reading a lot of Minnan Canth’s works, which repeatedly highlighted the role of women as makers of handicrafts. I grabbed the end of this thread and contacted the Tampere Handicraft Museum. I got my hands on a ribbon pattern there, which was most likely woven by contemporaries. The other end of the string turns into a fire-breathing snake in my carpet. ”All women should not do needlework” wrote Minna Canth in her letter in 1884. In my thoughts, the snake with its tongue of fire is Minna Canth herself, who directly says what she feels is necessary. The voice of a Finnish poor woman is transmitted through Minnan Canthi for everyone to hear.
Oodi’s art rugs were awarded the Silver Peak in 2019.

Pattern design / Lidl Finland
Lidl Finland ordered Christmas packages for the winter season.
For the finished package, I designed a continuous pattern on all sides. When opening the package, there are several layers of the lid, for which in the second package I created a different pattern for each, so the package was like an exciting gift in itself.
Packages filled with food serve as excellent gifts that can be personalized with the help of a packaging card.
