I’M IRA HEIKKINEN
A designer and a photographer
from Tampere Finland.

I graduated in spring 2023 with a Bachelor’s degree in Fashion Design. For me, design is a way to communicate, connect, and be understood. The desire to evoke emotional experiences through visuality and physical materials has led me to the field of textile and fashion design.

At the core of my design process is creating a concept that aims to solve a problem. Photography is my way of conducting research, seeking inspiration, and telling the story.

Visual expression, along with being in direct contact with materials and colors, is an essential part of my design process.

A successful outcome is one that is sustainable and meaningful to its user.
