Video Production Director

I have worked as a video producer, director, editor, motion graphics designer and photographer in Helsinki, Finland, Madrid, Spain, Washington, D.C. and Los Angeles and San Diego, CA. I have worked on short films, web TV-series, EPKs, commercials, corporate/promo videos as well as political and advocacy videos, most notably for the Democratic Party and President Obama's grass roots army Organizing for America. I also used to work on interactive design, mostly Flash. I have a masters degree in New Media, specializing in interactive film.  I previously worked as a photographer and media artist in Finland, exhibiting my work across Europe. I have worked on a broad range of creative fields for more than 15 years now, which makes me a versatile and multitasking professional, but makes it hard to come up with a short job title. I have work experience in several countries with teams of multiple nationalities and languages, which has taught me to adapt quickly to any environment get along with everybody.
