Lohtunalle is a lovable and memorable mascot I created for Leikki – The Museum of Play, designed to be used across the museum’s activities. By strategically incorporating the mascot into physical exhibitions, museum education, merchandise, communication and marketing, Leikki has been able to extend the reach of its exhibitions, increase audience engagement, and create connections between different exhibitions and public events.

Kiko Mascot
As the exhibition designer for Museum Leikki’s From Tokyo to Tapiola special exhibition, I created a unique mascot for the exhibition. By strategically using the mascot in the physical exhibition, museum pedagogy, as well as in communication and marketing, Museum Leikki was able to significantly enhance exhibition outreach and engagement.
Yhteinen pöytä Illustrations
Yhteinen pöytä is a Vantaa-based model of community food aid and waste logistics, based on a network-based operating culture. Waste food received from donors is transported to a network of over 80 communities and actors that distributes and uses the food. Yhteinen pöytä wanted to celebrate their 10th anniversary and commissioned graphic designs from me that depict their important work, history and help to improve their work in the future.
My Little Leikki Mascot
I created a unique mascot for the Pony Friendship is Forever! exhibition. By strategically using the mascot in the physical exhibition, museum pedagogy, merchandise, as well as in communication and marketing, Museum Leikki was able to significantly enhance the Pony Friendship is Forever! exhibition outreach and engagement. Even though the exhibition is no longer at display, Leikki still uses My Little Leikki in the museums activities.
1950s-Themed Block Play
I designed a 1950s-themed block play area where children can play with wooden buildings and characters, imagining themselves in the heart of Helsinki during the 1950s or the rustic Finnish countryside.
