My Little Pop Icons Merchandise
I design and create a wide range of merchandise for the beloved My Little Pop Icons brand. These products are sold through our own online store, as well as in museums and at various events. The merchandise includes textile products, magnets, keychains, stickers, prints, postcards, and mugs.
"From Tokyo to Tapiola" Exhibition Design
I developed the visual and graphic design for the From Tokyo to Tapiola exhibition, including marketing materials. I also designed a custom mascot, Kiko, to enhance exhibition communication. Additionally, I designed four interactive play stations with custom props. I was also responsible for the design and procurement of products for the museum shop.
BOB card game
I designed and illustrated a Twin Peaks-themed card game called BOB. This playable card game delves into the fascinating families of Twin Peaks. But be careful—if you play, you might end up with a new family member you’d rather avoid!
"From Tokyo to Tapiola" exhibition trailer
I illustrated and animated a trailer for the special exhibition "From Tokyo to Tapiola" for theatrical release. The trailer was presented at the Espoo Ciné Film Festival.
