I am a freelance Designer and Illustrator based in Finland.

With a long career as a professional fashion designer specializing in kids' and women's casual collections, I have found immense joy in my work. It has also inspired me to create fun yet stylish illustrations in a playful style.

My creativity and passion for drawing can be traced back to my school days when I would sketch small, messy drawings in the corners of my notebooks. Over time, those sketches evolved into larger-scale surface patterns, stylish graphic designs, and vibrant digital illustrations.

Minna Havo has a background as a fashion designer, creating a wide range of clothing, placement print, and surface pattern designs for babies, kids, and adults' casual wear collections over the past 20 years.

Throughout her years as a full-time designer, she evolved into a multi-talented and technically skilled professional capable of designing commercial clothing collections tailored to the customer's needs and fully adaptable to the required price level.

Although Minna absolutely loved the opportunity to be part of a privileged group that makes a living as fashion designers, as a creative person, she felt like a bird in a cage. She realized she had so much more to offer and learn, and that her design skills could encompass much more than just clothing.
