Sini Nihtilä

Hi! I am Sini Nihtilä, an illustrator and graphic designer. I love to illustrate adventures, no matter how big or small they are. My illustrations often have a warm atmosphere, fun details and imaginative elements. I get inspiration especially from Nordic nature, tales and stories, videogames and from being the mother of a lovely toddler.

I also have strong experience in graphic design, especially in books and learning material.

• creating strong moods
• illustrating environments
• illustrating large and complex entities
• combining illustration and graphic design
