Stop destroying EU micro-businesses: Immediate moratorium on cross-border EPR fees

17/09/2026

ACADEMIC MISCONDUCT HAS ENTERED THE CAMPUS. 🎓🔥

10 brand-new, slightly inappropriate and highly questionable limited-edition patches have escaped from the CarniWear studio.

Swipe for a closer look at the evidence. 👀

Everything you need for questionable higher education.

Each design currently exists in a tiny first batch of only FOUR patches. Because apparently embroidering bad decisions takes time. 😏

Find them at Turun Päivä Design Market Forum Kortteli this Sunday, 20 September, 11–17.

1 patch 25 €
2 patches 50 €
3 patches 70 €
additional patches +20 €

Limited. Embroidered. Questionable. 🎓🖤

I’ve spent this weekend taking part in Konstrundan, opening the doors to my studio and my work.

And somewhere between welcoming visitors, talking about art and spending many quieter moments surrounded by the things I’ve created, I’ve found myself thinking quite a lot about being an entrepreneur.

Yesterday also happened to be Entrepreneur’s Day here in Finland. 🇫🇮
I didn’t manage to post this then, but perhaps today is actually a better day for it.

Because this year feels a little special: this December marks 20 years since I started my first company, Creepy, my graphic design business.

Twenty years of entrepreneurship. That sounds slightly terrifying when I say it out loud. 😅

Along the way, graphic design was joined by CarniWear, and my professional world expanded from designing on screen to creating with textiles, recycled materials, embroidery, sewing and whatever wonderfully odd idea happens to demand a physical form.

For me, being an entrepreneur has never been just about running a business.

It’s about having the freedom to create something that didn’t exist before. To follow strange ideas, take risks, learn new things, make mistakes, start again, and occasionally look at something I’ve made and think: damn, I actually did that.

Some days are brilliant. Some are exhausting. Some ideas fly, others crash spectacularly.

And after almost 20 years of doing things my own way, I still get to create, experiment, change direction and build my own strange little universe.

That freedom might just be the best part of it all. 🧡

So, one day late: Happy Entrepreneur’s Day to my fellow entrepreneurs in Finland!

This morning started with coffee, conversations and a serious spark of inspiration at a breakfast event by , where reminded the room of something important:

Brands are not built from products alone.
They are built from courage, strange ideas, persistence, human connection and the willingness to stay beautifully different.

As the artist behind CarniWear, that hit home. Hard. 🧡

Sometimes wearable art feels like sewing tiny rebellions into fabric.
Against fast fashion. Against sameness. Against becoming smaller just to fit somewhere easier.

Today felt like a reminder to keep going louder, bolder and more unapologetically CarniWear.

More ART to Wear.
More stories stitched into seams.
More strange beauty for brave humans.

And honestly? The world could use a little more color and a little less fear.

OMG, it's happening! 🔥🔥🔥

Sooooo happy to have a hubby who believes in me and my art, and supports me in every possible way. Love you so much

Today we'll be driving to Raasepori to get me a machine I've been dreaming of for almost 3 years.

Can you already guess what it is??? 🤩
