Summary
Laura Koivunen-niemi is a Finnish-Californian information designer based in Helsinki with nine years of cross-disciplinary experience shaping visual communication for public institutions, media, and design agencies. After two decades in California working in multimedia and graphic design, she returned to Finland to earn an MA in Information Design from Aalto University and moved into news graphics at Yle before joining Koponen+Hildén in collaboration with Keksi. She excels at turning complex data and narratives into clear, engaging visuals—ranging from broadcast graphics to wayfinding and campaign design—and brings practical project management and market-research experience from municipal and corporate roles. Comfortable bridging creative and technical teams, she regularly blends motion, web, and print media to deliver cohesive brand experiences. A practical problem-solver with international perspective, she leverages U.S. public-sector campaign work and Helsinki’s design culture to create communication that works across contexts.
