Biography Print E-mail

Juho, or "Yuho", is a 20 years old self-learned graphical designer from the town of Oulu, Finland. He was born in the neighboring countryside (though now part of Oulu) of Ylikiiminki. Now after he has lived in Oulu for four years, he tends to call himself more as a citizen of Oulu than of Ylikiiminki. But being raised in the middle of the forests and by a lake, the nature and woods still play very important role in his art and lifestyle.

Juho has studied Business Information Technology but rather aims to work in entertainment industry as a graphical designer or even more preferably as a concept artist. He's always been a huge fan of certain video game artists. Such as concept artists of Bioware, Bethesda, Square Enix and Blizzard. The taste of video games also tends to turn to the fantasy and sci-fi. But even more than games from aforementioned companies, he enjoys playing the Civilization series. But recently his CIV sessions have been rare, as there's just too much work to do and he can't afford to fall on playing CIV for 12 hours straight anymore...

Juho likes to listen to different genres of music depending on his mood. Nowadays he listens mostly to progressive rock and metal, death metal, finnish language rock and classic rock. Juho also likes playing his cheap M-Audio keyboards and composing songs with Reason 4. Other hobbies include hunting, walking, bicycling and art, latter being more job than hobby these days.

I'd rather not market my skills in words or tell bland stories about successful branding etc. but rather try to show you what kind of person I am and let my portfolio speak for my skills instead. I'm not much of a verbal acrobat so let's keep this short. :)
