Dear friends,

thank you for visiting. I am a 🇫🇮 and 🇺🇸, 🇩🇪-born citizen of the 🌎. And, as a passionate, curious, adaptive, creative thinker, solution seeker and storyteller, I ❤️ working with people driven by 🔥 & purpose.✌️

Welcome to my work—where story, design, and impact meet. I specialize in multidisciplinary design and creative direction, building and leading lean teams from concept to execution across branding, marketing, and advertising. My skills span art direction, UX/UI, graphic design, coding, video, and concept development.

I’ve added value to every brand I’ve partnered with, including The Wall Street Journal, Target, Novartis, and Emirates Airlines. Most recently, I founded herNEXTfrontier to launch the next generation of female innovators in the age of AI, debuting at Cannes Lions 2025 in our Garden of Technology & Innovation. Next launch in 3, 2, 1…

I also completed a creative leadership program at Yale SOM to strengthen my design and social impact leadership.

So, let’s GROW together on our path forward. 

Cheers, 
Mia Tapojärvi Dahlmer
