what i can do

  • i’ve collaborated with in-house designers, collaborators, and contractors. i’ve excelled in maintaining a cohesive brand style, not forgetting to improve and develop the visual language along the way.

  • i have a master’s degree in ux & ui design from metropolia university of applied sciences. i’ve worked closely with product and development teams in SaaS companies in giving feedback and suggestions based on my own use of those tools in these companies (Smartly.io and Cavai). i’m proficient in workshopping, prototyping, ui sketching, and design thinking. i’ve also been part of a service design overhaul.

  • i’ve juggled work in-house and with collaborators, meeting even tight deadlines while delivering top-notch results.

  • i majored in multimedia design for my bachelor’s degree. I’m able to produce basically every kind of design material there is, from print to social media, in stills, video, or multimedia experiences. layout, illustration, video editing, and asset design are my aces in design.

  • i’m fantastic at writing in finnish and excellent in english. i can create great ideas, drafts, and structures, and can be ruthless when editing. i’m precise in my language but can also be whimsical if need be. i can do anything from snappy copy to longform scripts and narratives.

  • i’m fast at picking up new tools. in my two previous roles, I’ve worked with internal SaaS tools, Cavai Cloud and Smartly.io. I know all that a proper multimedia designer should do: i have extensive knowledge in Adobe, Microsoft Office, and Google tools, and can also navigate in Figma, Canva, Hubspot, and WordPress. i’ve worked with tons more, and i think my superpower here is that i pick up things fast and am able to teach myself even complex tools.

  • i’m fine working alone, but i’m amazing with other people. i’m a great communicator, and i take time and consideration in all of my interactions with other people, whether they’re my colleagues or clients. i’m great at giving actionable feedback and i love building culture for example by organizing internal events.

i’m raita.

Visual storytelling is my thing. I’m a multi-disciplinary visual designer, and I love creating attention-grabbing narratives, especially online. I get kicks from bringing brands closer to people through the brand’s existence. Lately, I’ve done my best to learn about my current audiences and what makes them tick.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Culture and Arts in December 2018, focusing my studies on varying multimedia content design courses – from print layouts to motion design. That's where I found visual storytelling and fell in love with it! We were made to watch The Front Page (1974) and I think that changed something in me. Fundamentally.

I graduated with a Master of Culture and Arts in Metropolia UAS in October 2024. My studies were in usability, user interfaces, and service design.

I’m currently working as a Field Marketing Manager for LeadDesk, focusing on developing the creative and visual identity of the brand.

My skills include i.e. art direction, illustration, branding and identity, layout design, and video work with tools like InDesign, Photoshop, After Effects, and Illustrator. I also create both internal and external communication collaterals, presentations, ad copy, and product marketing materials.

My favorite song is September by Earth Wind & Fire, my favorite movie is Commando, and my favorite game is Red Dead Redemption 2. I love video games and hope to work with them some day!
