Sini Kuparinen
Hi there, I'm Sini Kuparinen, an illustrator and graphic designer who specializes in animal themed art.
Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to be part of a variety of creative projects, from logo design to children's book illustration.
Through art and illustration, my dream is to tell stories and share the joy of creation with others. Prints of my designs can be found in craft stores around Finland. My working languages are Finnish and English.
I specialize in animal and nature illustrations and am proficient in both traditional and digital methods of work. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign are my daily tools. As a natural continuation of my focus on animal art, I have also created a website where those interested can order a unique pet portrait.
My illustration clients have included, among others: Werner Söderström Ltd., Etra Inc., Saga Egmont, Hollolan Hirvi and The Finnish Lutheran Mission.
