Lotta Maija is an illustrator and visual designer from Finland.

Lotta Maija’s bubbly vibe and personal interests are perfectly reflected in all her creative outlets.

Her background in textile design has sparked a love of flat-color surfaces and simple shapes, often prominent in her work. Inspired by all things organic and cute, her characteristic aesthetic comes to life in playful fruit and flora illustrations and patterns. Her signature colour palette plays a significant role in her work.

Since living in Tokyo, Japanese influences have also become an integral part of Lotta Maija’s creative process and personal style. In addition, she finds great joy and inspiration in considered details and lovingly assembled installation.
