Saara Helkala – Designer

Hi! My name is Saara and I'm a designer from Finland based in Portugal :)

Overview

I have worked as a Graphic designer & illustrator for the last 18 years. I did first years of my career in advertising and publishing but once I was told I work "too fast" I decided that freelancing might be the best option for me :D

As a designer, my main focus is on books: covers, layouts and illustrations. And I love hand lettering!

As a designer I've been told that I'm easy to work with and very efficient. Since I've worked with lots of publication houses and writers I can easily turn your ideas into beautiful book covers that really catch the eye on the shelves and also on social media.

Let's work together :)
