I’m Sini Salminen, a freelance design consultant. I provide creative services for corporate identity work as well as development of printed and digital matter through consistent project management and careful attention to detail, for companies of all sizes.
I was born and raised in Denmark and moved to Alaska eight years ago. With over 12 years of professional experience I’ve been fortunate enough to work with high profile clients such as Nike Women, Nike Basketball, LEGO, University of Fairbanks Alaska and Renewable Energy Alaska Project.
DANISH DESIGN
Deeply rooted, Denmark is a design nation. Danish design became known worldwide in the 1950s and pretty much reflect the essence of Danish culture: open, clean and user friendly.
Today, the Danish design tradition lives on and in general has developed into a broader expression than the very familiar classic icons. I take pride in my design heritage and it shows in my work.
