Who Is She?<\/span><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Hi, I\u2019m Salla Lehtipuu, Finland\u2019s only kuvakiteytt\u00e4j\u00e4\u00ae. I\u2019m also an illustrator, visual facilitator, and trainer.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

My mission is to enable better learning through visuals. My tools for doing this include live illustration, visual facilitation created as drawing videos and illustrations, and training in visual note-taking.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Through my work, I\u2019ve had the opportunity to meet smart, wonderful people and explore fascinating topics. I\u2019ve created visual facilitations on all kinds of subjects, including eldercare, medicine, the forest industry, futures research, and marketing. I get to hear about amazing projects and services, but I also encounter challenges \u2014 and get to explore solutions together with people and help visualise the path forward.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

My work feels meaningful when I get to make people\u2019s words visible, through both words and images. It can create a shared understanding \u2014 or spark a conversation: \u201cIs this how you see it?\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I get to draw, and I can see myself improving all the time. As a child, I dreamed of making a living by drawing, but I could never have imagined that a profession like this would even exist. I\u2019ve always had many other interests too, and I still have plenty of moments when I question my skills. Yet drawing gives me a wonderful sense of achievement \u2014 when I manage to make something look on paper the way I see it in my mind, when I find a fun way to visualise an abstract idea, or when I can use my skills to bring joy to others.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I also get to teach others visual expression and thinking through drawing. It\u2019s incredibly rewarding to see people rediscover a skill they had forgotten they possessed, and then start using it in their work and everyday lives.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m naturally curious, which makes this work a great fit for me. I get to peek into all kinds of different worlds! I love being surrounded by activity, and I enjoy events and meeting new people. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
