Reviews

"To our delight, Aino illustrated our five-year strategy document and we are extremely pleased with the result. The following was my spontaneous email feedback to Aino after seeing the material: 'Aino, you are absolutely amazing, super and fantastic! I'm running out of adjectives for you ♥♥♥ Thank you so much! I highly recommend Aino, her professionalism and her ability to get the job done from the bottom of my heart!"

– Jaana Hirsikangas, Executive Director, UN Women Finland

"Aino has done several illustrations and sketchnotes for us. I find that we always come back to her when we need something fresh and appealing, and not once have we been disappointed. Aino's understanding and ability to get to the heart of a subject is exceptional. I highly recommend Aino – as long as she continues to have time for us. ♥"

– Juuli Hurskainen, Director, Communications and Advocacy, the Central Union for Child Welfare
