Exhibition Design
I approach exhibition design as a unique opportunity to create immersive, engaging experiences that connect audiences with themes and narratives in meaningful ways. My designs often blend visual storytelling with interactive elements, allowing visitors to engage deeply with the subject matter. With a background in visual arts and communication, I bring a nuanced perspective to each project, aiming to make exhibitions accessible, educational, and inspiring for diverse audiences.
"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.
"Pony Friendship is Forever" Exhibition Design
I created the visual and graphic design for the Pony Friendship is Forever! exhibition, including the design of a custom mascot, My Little Leikki, to enhance exhibition communications. I also contributed expertise to content development, and designed and implemented the interactive play station, the Hobby Horse Stable, featuring custom My Little Pony hobby horses. Additionally, I managed the design and procurement of products for the museum shop.
"Your Friend, Hello Kitty" Exhibition Design
I created the visual and graphic design for the Your Friend, Hello Kitty! exhibition using materials provided by Sanrio. I designed the exhibition poster, flyers, brochures, exhibition graphics, and social media materials, as well as the interactive play station, Hello Kitty's Home, with custom props. Additionally, I managed the design and procurement of a custom sticker sheet for the museum shop.
"Ysäricorner" Exhibition Design
I created the visual and graphic design for the Ysäricorner pop-up exhibition, including the exhibition logo, graphics, and social media materials such as animations. The exhibition takes visitors on a nostalgic journey through the iconic toys, idols, TV shows, movies, and books of the 1990s
