(About)Veera Kortelainen (b. 1995) is a Helsinki based freelance graphic designer. Previously she worked at Ellun Kanat, a Helsinki-based strategic branding & communications agency, where she focused on branding and visual identity projects. Currently she splits her independent practice between client commissions and self-initiated projects. Her practice stems from the intersection of graphic design and contemporary culture and she mainly works with visual identities, print products and typographic solutions. Her work is often inspired by the lower forms of visual culture—the vernacular, the amateurish and the “non-designed” and she embraces a certain kind of roughness-around-the-edges in her expression. She holds a BA of Arts from Aalto University and is currently pursuing a Master’s Degree.
