I’ve spent over a decade working in media and creative production in Finland, and I understand how things work here: from weather to permits, and everything in between. I’m organised, proactive and calm under pressure, and I know how to work with international teams.
With years of experience planning and executing media trips, coordinating events, and managing everything from small seminars to large-scale conferences and FAM trips, I know how to make things happen – even when plans change last-minute. I’ve worked with international TV and movie productions, print and digital media, and have hosted high-profile speakers and event participants.
Whether you need someone to manage logistics, solve problems quietly behind the scenes, or ensure a smooth experience for your crew on the ground, I bring a calm head and a well-connected local network to every project.

Do you only work in Helsinki?
Not at all – I support shoots across the country, including Lapland, the archipelago and rural areas.
Can you help find local crew?
Yes. I work with a trusted network of camera operators, translators, stylists and drivers – and everything else.
Can you help us find interesting story angles?
Definitely. I can suggest local topics, interview partners, visual locations and current themes that would work well for your format. Whether you’re doing editorial, branded content or documentary work, I’ll help make it relevant and compelling.
Do you also do photography or content creation?
Yes. I’m also a photographer and content producer, so I can support with behind-the-scenes coverage, social media clips. This can be discussed in advance based on your needs.
What languages do you speak?
I’m bilingual in German and English, and can support productions in Finnish and French. I can help with basic translation, and I can arrange professional interpreters and translation services if needed.
Can you help with press trips or VIP groups?
Yes. I have experience planning and hosting high-level press visits, influencer trips and business delegations. I make sure everything runs smoothly – from airport pickup to restaurant reservations and cultural programs.
What’s your rate?
Rates depend on the scope and duration of the project. I offer day rates as well as custom packages for longer-term or multi-day shoots. Get in touch and I’ll send over a quote.
Do you work with agencies and production companies, or only media teams?
Both. I regularly collaborate with production companies, creative agencies, broadcasters, tourism boards and in-house media teams.
What kind of productions have you supported?
Everything from TV segments, movies, digital campaigns to documentaries, magazine stories and commercial shoots. Clients have included German broadcasters, international lifestyle publications, city and tourism organisations, and major brands.
