In short
I am an art director and branding specialist. I create visual solutions, brand strategies and communication for clients across disciplines and categories.
A bit longer
I’m an award winning art director with over 20 years of experience in advertising, digital media and content creation at agencies such as Ogilvy London, DDB, Paris, Agency.com and Bluewave.
I also built a digital tech platform from the ground up together with Lord Maurice Saatchi, built a personal channel and audience on Youtube with a few videos racking up over half a million views.
I grew up in Finland, Brasil and the US. I have a degree in Fine Arts from Finalnd and I spent the last 20 years in the UK and France. I love to develop ideas for great brands and communicate them using design, media, branding and relevant zeitgeist.
In parallell, I also built a career as a makeup artist & stylist specialising in luxury destination weddings & shoots in France and Italy. Which lead to my own slot presenting on UK television about well-being.

& kind words
Whenever I think of a great Art Director, who not only creates beautiful designs and interfaces, but also understands Branding and Digital Marketing, Sanni is the one that always comes to mind! She worked on my team at OgilvyOne UK, and her talents and skills were crucial for the development of high-profile websites and campaigns for IBM Wimbledon, Sunsilk and Knorr/Unilever. She's great with clients and earns the respect of her peers due to the high quality of her work. I cannot recommend Sanni enough, to the extent that I certainly would like to work with her again and see her talent bring great work to life!
Lino Ribolla, Digital Pioneer and Global Creative director.
She is unique amongst the art directors I've worked with. She has a desire to question assumptions which when combined with her natural talent means her visual solutions where always a step ahead of the rest.
Doug Falby, Service Design Director.
Sanni is one of those unique talents – an inspiring leader, an outstanding creative and a brilliant strategist all rolled into one. A big conceptual thinker and problem-solver, Sanni is extremely well respected by everyone who works with her, and it’s easy to see why.
Ruth Adair, VP Content Director Beezy.
