Anni Sairio
Hi, I'm Anni Sairio (she/her). I'm an illustrator, animation artist and graphic designer from Helsinki. I'm a versatile visual storyteller who chooses the tools that best serve the project in question. I like to use simplified characters and symbolism in my illustrations. I work both by hand and digitally. I also like to combine different techniques.
I'm good at managing large visual entities. I've designed visual worlds for animations and designed and renewed brand identities. In addition to static images, I can make motion graphics, animated illustrations and animations. I studied Visual Communication Design at Bachelor's level and Animation at Master's level in Aalto University.

Characters and Renewal of Visual Identity / Animalia
I designed the animal rights organization Animalia’s 60th anniversary visual identity in 2020. In addition I designed characters for the organization. In 2022 I unified the organization’s visual identity and changed the characters to a solid color and made them a more integral part of the visual identity.

Other People short animation (images)
Other People is an eight-minute-long documentary cutout animation about observing and being observed and the strangeness of human life. The short film is the artistic part of my master’s thesis. I co-directed the film with Joonatan Turkki. The animation premiered in DocPoint Helsinki documentary film festival in February 2023. The Finnish animation guild awarded the film as the best national short animation in the Animatricks festival in May 2023.

The signs show how to prevent COVID from spreading on the campus. The task included illustrated signs, posters, a floor sticker and motion graphics. I designed the signs with Aalto University’s colors. Since the subject is miserable, I wanted to make sympathetic and good-natured characters for the illustrations, which add a little humor to the subject.

”Many plants are very adaptable and can grow even in surprising places. In my illustration, the flowers have adjusted to poor conditions and managed to grow avoiding the thorns of the dominant cacti. However, the energy consumed by avoiding has eventually exhausted the flowers.”
