About the designer
Sanna Annukka: “I’m a half Finnish, half English illustrator and print maker with a love for nature and folklore. Many a childhood summer was spent in Finland. Family trips beyond the Arctic Circle, camping in the night less Lapland wilderness, hold some of my most treasured memories. The forests, lakes and wildlife of the region remains a constant inspiration. My personal work infuses nature, childhood memories and my love of storytelling and folklore.”
