Janine Rewell is a Finnish designer living and working in Helsinki. Interested in organic geometry and the unexpected perfection of nature, Rewell blends imagination with reality through illustration and installation. Abstraction of forms and the fantastical animal kingdom inspire her work, which mixes vector based designs and analog materials for displays, textiles and designed environments. She composes geometric forms and fluid patterns using digital tools to fashion fantastical characters and immersive landscapes within her pieces.
Janine has received numerous awards including, Red Dot Award, Cannes Lion and ADC*E. Her clients include Google, H&M, Nike, Samsung, The Times, Toyota, Wired and Calvin Klein.
As an illustrator, Janine Rewell is represented worldwide by the illustration agencies Agent Pekka located in Helsinki, Amsterdam, New York & Los Angeles and Tiphaine located in Paris. In China she is exclusively represented by V Collective.
