Clients
As a freelancer I've done graphic design as well as web design for following bands/artists and labels: The Project Hate MCMXCIX, Steen1/Seppo Lampela, Withershin, Threeman Recordings, Stormvox Recordings, Vic Records and Monsp Records, to name a few. I also have a pretty large role in updating... well, actually maintaining and designing for Global Domination, a metal webzine lead by K. Philipson, a close friend of mine. As you can see, I'm pretty much oriented towards music scene, especially the darker and heavier side of the genre.
Before becoming an entrepreneur I worked as a web designer from 2000 to 2008 for three different, relatively large companies in Finland. During that time I had the pleasure to work with/to the following projects/clients: Helsinki Youth Center, Ilta-Sanomat, Nelonen, HTV (Welho), Pirkka, Plaza, Asuntomessuopas, Kynämies, Otava Kuvalehdet and Sanoma WSOY. And that's just a small fraction of it. A lot of stuff and many, many clients fit into those eight years. To be perfectly honest, it would even be useless to list all the clients I remember since websites/services go thru constant change and progress. So most of the sites today have little to none to do with the ones I used to work with.
