Hi, I’m Alessandro.

I live deep in the Finnish woods, where I split my time between crafting leather, sharpening tools, and experimenting with print design. I’m the kind of guy who builds his own workshop, mills his own lumber, and brews his own coffee — usually strong enough to keep the local bears away.

I’ve been in the web design & online marketing world since 2011 and in the print world since 2019, working with print24.fi for years. I even had the chance to tour their main production facility in Dresden, Germany — an impressive place where paper dreams come true.

When I’m not wrestling with web code or explaining why a 200×120 pixel image can’t be blown up to billboard size, I’m out in the forest, usually with a chainsaw in one hand and a chalkline in the other.

If you have a print project in mind or just want to talk shop, drop me a line. I’m always happy to help.
