I’m Matti Tuominen, Helsinki-based Designer and founder of Prakt. Previously I worked as an Art Director / Lead Visual Designer at Reaktor before going back to freelancing. I have a formal design education with MA from Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture.
I work mostly on:
— brand identity design
— visual product design (for early-stage startups)
— various typography-heavy assignments

In my work I aim for clarity – where the idea and craft meet to create calm in the world. What you see on this site gives you a good indication of my style and what you’ll get when we work together.
My work has been awarded in Print Magazine’s Typography & Lettering Awards, Communication Arts’ Design and Typography Competitions, and Grafia’s The Best of Finnish Advertising and Design – the most valuable Finnish design competition I’ve also had an honor to jury.
My projects have been featured in media such as Slanted Magazine, Grafik, Communication Arts, It’s Nice That, Print Magazine, Creative Review, Identity Designed and Brand New.
