I shape light and design custom lighting solutions for architecture, urban environments, interiors, and demanding industrial projects. My work combines lighting design, luminaire design, and manufacturing expertise. I develop solutions where light supports architecture, strengthens a sense of place, and creates meaningful user experiences.
Originally trained as an interior architect, I have spent the past decade focusing on the design and manufacture of lighting and luminaires. My work is based on close collaboration with clients, designers, and specialists from various disciplines.
At AICCI, we design and manufacture luminaires that originate from bold ideas and are refined to meet the specific requirements of each project. Alongside bespoke solutions, we offer the AICCI Collection, a range of luminaires that combines thoughtful design, Finnish manufacturing, and long-term durability. Working at the intersection of design and production gives me a strong understanding of how to transform an idea from concept into a finished product and a successful lighting solution.
