Hey there!

i'm aleksi erkki

Also going by Æirikr, Alexandros Eirikr and many other online handles. I'm a visual designer and a world builder hailing from Rovaniemi, Finland. I'm currently working on my Masters in graphic design at the University of Lapland.

strengths

I have a solid foundation with the traditional graphic design tool box, from hands-in-the-clay printing work to digital eye candy for social media marketing. More importantly I have an endless curiosity for the world in general. I'm quick to adapt and easy to work with. I love building worlds and telling stories, through design ecosystems or immersive experiences like games and more. If you're curious to hear about tailored imagined experiences don't hesitate to ask!

ambitions

I've explored several fields in and along side design and arts academia, feeling with each day the strict definitions and titles fading away. From a graphic designer to a visual designer to a storyteller, I'm eager to see what my next stage of evolution will be. I've been drawn to games of all types for all my life, so likely it is there I'll find myself in 10 years.
