Hi, I’m Katariina Valentin

Service designer by day, illustrator by night

Explore my portfolios

I am currently in my final year of studying Service Design at Savonia University of Applied Sciences, while working as a sign language interpreter. I’ve found the magic of co-creation and really enjoy facilitating workshops. I’ve gained experience in project management, customer journey mapping, UX, visualizations and more. Have look at some of my projects!

I’m a freelance illustrator with hopes of being able to spread art, colors and playfulness to the world. Take a peek at my work and don’t hesitate to be in contact!

Driven by Purpose, Guided by People

I'm passionate about developing socially impactful services, with a strong focus on accessibility, DEI, international collaboration, human rights, and the creative and cultural sectors. I’m a natural team leader, currently sharpening my leadership skills through hands-on experience.

I'm open to new job opportunities and freelance projects—let’s connect!

My core strengths include user research, workshop facilitation, creative thinking, concept development, and strong visual communication. With a background in interaction mediation and a versatile skill set, I bring both structure and creativity to every project.
