About - Heikki Paulaharju

I create visually engaging graphics for all platforms and devices. My experience ranges from basic HTML/CSS pages to print design and moving image, animation and special effects. I have gained experience in animation and 3D graphics, and I have hands on experience on professional imaging tools, such as Flash, Director, Illustrator, Indesign, Freehand, Photoshop, Blender, Premiere, After effects and 3DS MAX.

Currently, I am employed at SeaLink Travel Group in Adelaide as a Design Lead. I am responsible of the overall visual style and guidelines of the whole travel group. One of my main core strength areas is creating concepts that work on online media and also on print and in television.

Before Sealink Travel Group, I worked for two and half years at a Adelaide based company, Jaba Multimedia, as a Senior designer. At JABA and my clients included VS Sassoon, Adbri Masonry, Bridgestone Select, Corna Hardware, Bridgestone, CultureMag, MusicSA, Club Financial Services and Winestate Magazine.

I have worked six years as an Art Director in a leading Scandinavian search company, Eniro, before migrating to Adelaide, Australia. -At Eniro, I designed several Graphical User Interfaces for websites, CD-ROM's and mobile phones. I created graphical concepts for advertising campaigns – logotype designs, concepts for print, web and exhibitions.

1997-2000 I worked as freelance Cinematographer and Gaffer on hundreds of film and television productions.

I am a Sydney University Master of Multimedia(hons.) graduate and I have also studied a Master of Arts degree in filmmaking at the University of Art and Design Helsinki, Finland.
