Background

About Neea Laakso

Hi, I am Neea! I am a multidisciplinary designer with over 15 years of experience. I design user-friendly and visually pleasing services, brands, and communication that aim to help people and enhance business. Currently, I work as a lead designer on health-related projects that require a strategic mindset, organisational expertise, and the ability to manage complex, multifaceted processes. I hold a Master’s degree from Aalto University ARTS and an MBA from Laurea University of Applied Sciences. My expertise spans service design, graphic and communication design, art direction, concept development, and digital design. One of my most memorable projects was leading the spatial branding for a client’s headquarters lobby, where I had to balance the original design (by a Finnish national treasure) with the need to present the corporate brand in a fresh and engaging way. Besides, I am an enthusiastic, thorough doer and a considerate team player (also on the soccer field!). I am also a mother to Ayu, an aspiring gardener, a coffee lover, and a practical thinker. I am based in Helsinki, Finland. Fun fact: an art piece I have made has been exhibited at the National Gallery of Denmark.
