Mari Huhtanen
Hello! I'm Mari Huhtanen (she/her), an illustrator, graphic designer and animator. Together with my husband we work in our studio Kilda in Helsinki. I enjoy drawing people in various everyday situations. I mainly work digitally using the vector drawing program Adobe Illustrator. I communicate in English and Finnish.
In new projects I create a mood board to get a glimpse into the client's mind, what they like and dislike. After a pencil sketch I draw a clean version in Illustrator. The colors and details go through another round of fine-tuning. The process, including comments, usually takes a week or two.
I do a lot of illustrations for public organizations, for whom diversity in the illustrations is an absolute must.
I enjoy adding movement to my illustrations through animation.

Maternity and Child Health Clinic card / Lekolar
Every year at the child health clinic, expectant mothers and newborns are given a card with all the important information about the pregnancy and the baby’s growth. I still have my own card from the 1980s. It was a pleasure to design the new cards for Lekolar and bring joy to tens of thousands of families in Finland.
