Evi Rinkinen (b. 1994 in Jyväskylä) is a Helsinki-based illustrator, designer and a visual artist. Her background is in textile and apparel design, from which she has gradually moved into illustration and visual art. Her clients include e.g. Helsingin Sanomat Monthly Magazine, Finnish Design Shop, Ylioppilaslehti, Psykologi, Anna, Libero and Maailman kuvalehti.
Rinkinen finds inspiration in surface, material and texture, and loves working in different mediums from textile and pattern design to ceramics, using both digital and traditional methods. She is inspired by the magic in the mundane as well as fantasy, and in her work she often creates worlds that exist in between these themes.
