Until September 2012, I will be living and working in London, United Kingdom. I am still available for occasional freelance-work in Finland.

From 1st of September until 15th I will be staying in Lefkada, Greece, in Sfakiotes Residency, working on some independent game projects and a game related exhibition. More info on these projects in future.

The exhibition stand of Finnish Academy of Fine Arts was awarded with a prize of 5000 euros in PhotoKina held in Cologne, Germany. I participated along with nine other students. Read more from the Kuva-website.
