My work: Edtech+ architecture
For several years, I've been passionate about discovering stories, histories, and a personal view of the world through everyday objects. A couple of years ago my friend Liisa and I founded an alternative travel agency that aimed at exploring the concept local luxuries by developing and curating a collection of lifestyle products and services. Our motto was "Walk towards yourself". First we built a website called Nopsa Travels that publishes free easily accessible city and countryside routes in Helsinki. Second, we opened a Fashion Library that allowed its members to borrow and use items from over 40 Finnish fashion designers. As it happens, Liisa and I both moved to California, and I decided to take the good learnings from the Fashion Library and convert my house into a "Nopsa House" that would offer a new way for discovering art and design in travel.
