Hey!

I'm a Finnish visual communications designer and I'm running my one-man-business, Pasi Virtakari Designs.

I'm looking for different kinds of design projects, both in print and digital. If you feel I might be good for your project, just throw me a message and let's talk!

Toblerone commercial

Illustrator
/school team project

"We were assigned to make an animated commercial for Toblerone. My team came up with an idea about a cosy little story happening in a small town and my task was to illustrate the town.

This was one of my favourite school projects. We managed to make a good use of every team members' strengths and different skills. And most importantly, we were able to complete the task within a very tight schedule and at the same time maintain a cheerful and encouraging atmosphere among us."
