Tuuli Pursiainen

Hi, I am a Helsinki-based designer, illustrator and a wide-ranging, curious, visual expert with a long pedagogical experience. My passions are art, sketching design interfaces and visual storytelling.

My style is playful and expressive, and colour plays an important role in my work. I perceive the world through colours and shapes and work mostly with line. I aim to capture emotion and create narratives in each piece. Humour, fantasy and nature themes are often present in my work, as well as diversity and sincerity.

Creative collaboration often results in something truly wonderful. Technical flexibility and listening carefully to my client are my strong suits as an designer. I have done illustrations for children and young people, magazines, events and marketing, textbooks and covers, to name a few. I also design illustrations and draw short animations. In addition to illustrating, I teach at the LAB Institute of Design.
