My name is Linda Jasmiina Vuorenvirta, and I am a multi-purpose creative based in Helsinki, Finland.

I have been pursuing creative interests for as long as I can remember. My parents encouraged me to explore these interests, and I remember drawing countless pictures and creating short illustrated storybooks even as a young child.

For undergraduate college, I attended The Art Institute of Boston at Lesley University. There I received my Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in animation. Animation is a field of art that I became interested in around my early teens but did not really have a chance to pursue until later. Disney films and other great animated classics played a large part in developing my love for the field. Alongside animation, I developed my skills in illustration and design. I graduated in May 2011.

I received a graduate degree (Master of Arts) from Aalto University’s School of Arts, Design and Architecture. My major subject was New Media Design and Production, which I studied at the Media Lab. My primary area of interest was 3D animation. I also explored graphic design (apps and websites), wearable tech and game design.

Having finished my MA degree, I found myself inexplicably drawn to more tactile creative fields such as cake decorating and textiles. I began to build up my skills in confectionary arts, spurred on largely by the 2010s food TV trend of cake competitions and documentaries. I also took my lifelong interest in clothing design and construction further, teaching myself how to draw patterns and make better fitting clothing. Mostly I use these skills for creating character costumes and fancy dress outfits, but I make regular clothes too. I can make curtains as well, but those are perhaps not as interesting!
