Ville Salonen

Hi there!

I’m Ville Salonen - Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and a Yoga Teacher. My work is often character and nature-based, using warm vivid colours that stand out. I also like to apply subtle animation, type or handmade lettering to my illustrations, when called for.

Having a passion for branding, I enjoy working with advertising agencies and a wide range of companies and associations.

My illustrations are represented in Finland by Napa Arts & Licensing Agency Oy.

Looking forward to collaborate with you!
