Aino Sutinen

I am a Helsinki-based sketchnoter, illustrator, comics creator and editor-in-chief.

My sketchnotes are visual notes taken at talks. I also create informative illustrations to summarise information, speed portraits, timelapse video illustrations, hand lettering and regular illustrations.

I have often worked on societal issues as well as science communication. My degree is in Sociology and Development Studies from the University of Sussex (UK).

My comics are about documentary subjects, history and autobiography. I also work part-time as the editor-in-chief of Sarjainfo, Finland's comics culture magazine at the Finnish Comics Society.

Sketchnotes, informative illustrations, comics, and portraits. Societal and other themes.

"Much to our joy, Aino illustrated our five-year-strategy, and we are extremely delighted with her works. ... I recommend Aino, her expertise and her touch to assignments from the bottom of my heart!"

-Jaana Hirsikangas, executive director, UN Women Finland

"Aino has made several illustrations and sketchnotes for us. We always come back to her when we need something fresh and touching, and never once have we been disappointed. Aino has an exceptional understanding and a skill for finding the essential in subjects. I warmly recommend Aino, as long as she still has time for us, too!"

Juuli Hurskainen, director, communications, The Central Union for Child Welfare
