Everything I’ve Done

Finland’s SME sector gave me a practical foundation — but my biggest growth happened at Finest Future.

Working in a small, self-led startup team, I wasn’t just applying what I learned in class. I was learning by doing. In that environment, I had to spot problems early, propose solutions quickly, and execute efficiently. There was no manual. No hand-holding. Just constant experimentation, feedback, and iteration.

That pace taught me how to adapt fast and face challenges with confidence. I learned to take ownership, communicate across teams, and stay grounded in the user’s perspective, whether I was running a campaign, designing a community program, or analyzing feedback to improve the experience.

Along the way, I picked up hard skills in digital marketing, content creation, strategic planning, and tools like Salesforce, Google Analytics, and social media management platforms. But more importantly, I gained something deeper: a product mindset, and a drive to build things that work and matter.

Finest Future – Community Marketing Coordinator

Finest Future is a dynamic startup focused on creating opportunities for students through innovative educational programs. I joined as a Growth Hacker, tasked with identifying and resolving the company’s growth challenges. At the time, we faced a limited number of leads, low social media engagement, and no clear strategy across digital channels.

Over 6 months of experimentation, we achieved strong results — but more importantly, uncovered a key insight: community building wasn’t just a support function, it was a growth lever. I transitioned into the Community team, where I started applying a more product-minded approach. I ran small experiments, like A/B testing content and CTAs, adjusting post timing based on engagement data, and gathering student insights to guide campaign direction.

There, I focused on optimizing resources through data-driven research, making sure our branding efforts were not only creative but strategic, efficient, and aligned with growth goals. This role allowed me to strengthen my skills in community building, brand storytelling, and data-informed decision making, while learning to connect user needs, marketing strategy, and product experience into one.

Rebranding story

The first time I stepped into Sininen Kukka, I was surrounded by its legacy, a charm infused with time, painted in old-world blues. But being passed to a younger, vibrant owner, there was a noticeable urge for renewal. An expectancy to infuse the age-old traditions of Sininen Kukka with the vibrancy and modernity the new owner brought.

The old **main logo and sticker** of the shop.

I introduced a fresh, signature color that replaces the old-fashioned blues. You’ll see this vibrant shade on everything from wrapping paper to stickers and business cards. It’s like a quick splash of energy that brightens the whole brand. Say goodbye to outdated photo styles. I came up with a modern yet timeless look for the photos. Each shot feels like a fresh breath of air, mixing the best of the old with the exciting new.
