About me
I’m Sini Kallioniemi, a Finnish design student passionate about art, design, and sustainability. I'm most interested in illustration, graphic design and printed products, but I like to explore things such as comics, public art, 3D modeling, and fine art. And this portfolio is about all of them!For commissions, Redbubble design suggestions, or professional inquiries, feel free to dm me on social media or send a message via email or LinkedIn!
Taidepömpelit Kouvola 2023-2024
Taidepömpelit Kouvola is a project hosted by the city of Kouvola and local electric companies. The chosen artists get to paint their artwork on electric cabinets and are provided the needed tools.
I have participated two times now and my ladybug painting even got used on the city's web page on an article about the project!
sinisen ketun päiväkirja
This comic project was my final task of my comic and illustration studies in 2023 and is probably my most ambitious work to date. It helped me find a direction in my art and taught me skills, such as:
Adobe programs
Graphic design
Efficiency
Storytelling
Sinisen Ketun Päiväkirja is a humorous slice of life comic strip collection that follows Blue Fox and her friends as they live in a in-between stage of life. Part of it is available online and I also printed and bound a small batch of booklets.
Product design
Two product concepts made in school, the Bubbly Mug (and a vase) got made in ceramics class but the cutting board is just a concept I made.
Posters
1. An advertisement for my children's comic about a ladybug which was a school project.2. An informative and humorous poster about the fact that snails dislike lavender.
Art, drawings and characters
Personal artwork I created for myself and in some cases my RedBubble shop.
I work in three art styles: digital, ink (digital or real), and collage. My favorite is a digital style that mimics real-life collages (seen in the first collection of drawings). I take a lot of inspiration from nature and animals, especially pets, and I can also create technical sketches when needed. For more examples, check out my art account on Instagram!

Visualizing information
A collection of schoolwork focused on visualizing information.
The Fida project was presented to a member of the company and the S-Group project was shown to professionals from other organizations but none of these were created in collaboration with the companies. We just happened to get an opportunity to showcase our work to professionals!
3D modeling
Objects
School exercises about creating objects using Rhino and SolidWorks.1. I experimented with arranging the objects for a nice composition after modeling the candy and adding texture.
2. This frog was designed specifically for 3D printing and I printed it using one of the 3D printers at school!
3. This exercise was about combining two parts in Solidworks after making them.
Spaces
These school exercises were created using Rhino, SolidWorks, and also some SketchUp with a pair. We worked on 3D models of floorplans and rooms. Some of the furniture was modeled by me and my partner, but some were premade. We also focused on creating a nice atmosphere and getting good renders.1. The first project is a capsule hotel room with two modes: sleeping and meeting. (photos 1-2)2. The second is an accessible spa with a gym, pool, massage room, and sauna. (photos 3-5)
