About me
I’m Sini Kallioniemi, a Finnish design student passionate about art, design, and sustainability. I'm most interested in illustration, graphic design and printed products, but I like to explore things such as comics, public art, and fine art. And this portfolio is about all of them!My portfolio includes professional, personal and school projects and I've tried to specify which is which in the description of each section.If you want to contract me, feel free to dm me on social media or send a message via email!
Luontosuhde
My first ever art exhibition about the relationship between nature and human was hosted in youth center Saima 6 , Saimaankatu 6 in Lahti.
The exhibition consisted of acrylic paintings, a couple of paper mache sculptures and an interactive guestbook.

Taidepömpelit Kouvola
2023-2025
Taidepömpelit Kouvola is a project hosted by the city of Kouvola and local electric companies. The chosen artists get to paint their artwork on electric cabinets and are provided the needed tools.
I have participated three times now and my ladybug painting even got used on the city's web page on an article about the project!
My latest painting is a carousel inspired by circular economy, repair and reuse. The idea came from a collage I made during a course about circular economy at LAB.
Internship at Inspis Lahti
I carried out the practical training required for my current studies as a graphic designer at Inspis Lahti, and a lot of the things I'm designed were for their Eteenpäin Elämässä ("Forward in Life") project. As the name suggests, the goal is to help people move forward.The materials I've made range from motivational and informational posters to job application templates, and all kinds of resources to help with routines, food, and life in general.I've also made a few things that aren’t directly for the project, like posters for the workplace gym and a recycling guide I suggested after noticing there was some confusion about the difference between mixed waste and energy waste.I'm really honored to be part of this project. It reminds me that sustainability isn't just about the environment, it’s also about taking care of each other.If you want to learn more, you can check out the report I wrote about my time there by clicking the button below.
paintings
In 2025 I painted three electrical cabinets owned by Helen Sähköverkko in Helsinki. I completed the whole project in just one weekend!
On the bottom is more public art I have made.
sinisen ketun päiväkirja
This comic project was my final task of my comic and illustration studies in 2023 and is probably my most ambitious work to date. It helped me find a direction in my art and taught me skills, such as:
Adobe programs
Graphic design
Efficiency
Storytelling
Sinisen Ketun Päiväkirja is a humorous slice of life comic strip collection that follows Blue Fox and her friends as they live in a in-between stage of life. Part of it is available online and I also printed and bound a small batch of booklets.
Product design
Two product concepts made in school, the Bubbly Mug (and a vase) got made in ceramics class but the cutting board is just a concept I made.
Event Design
This is a concept I created during an event design course, I wanted to create an event inspired by events like wine and paint, but without alcohol and with more principles of circular economy. Instead of painting, the guests can work on any project they want, patching up a broken pair of jeans or upcycling a piece of decoration for example. The images are what would be used as marketing and teaser material on Instagram before the event. They also show the branding I came up with. I wanted something fun and eye-catching but adult, since creative adults looking for alcohol-free activities are the target group for this event.
Brand design
A cafe concept I made up in my free time to practise building a brand image from start to finish. Since this was just for fun, I didn't limit myself to a realistic concept. I went with a "instagrammable" cafe that hosts events like wine and paint but coffee instead of wine, and all kinds of crafts instead of painting.
Visualizing information
A collection of schoolwork focused on visualizing information.
The Fida project was presented to a member of the company and the S-Group project was shown to professionals from other organizations but none of these were created in collaboration with the companies. We just happened to get an opportunity to showcase our work to professionals!
Art commisssions and sales
Design is my main thing, but I'm interested in the idea of selling a few art pieces here and there. I'm still at the beginning of this journey, so most of my customers are friends and family, but a few others too.
I'm open for all kinds of commissions from lawnmower nametags to pet portraits!
