I’m still thinking about female designers, so let’s talk about the RISD-educated Janine Rewell. Finnish (with stunning looks) and currently Helsinki-based, Janine is a talented designer and illustrator.

She’s won a pile of awards (though, Tan the Man, pictured above, is obviously the pinnacle of her career) and has a huge variety of projects and her belt. Despite her achievements, her work continues to be fresh, relevant, amusing and, above-all, confident. 

“Janine won a bronze Design Lion at the Cannes Lions International Advertising Festival 2009 and recently nominated by Print Magazine as one of the twenty best new visual artists of 2010. She is also awarded with the Junior Award 2010, the greatest national recognition for a young designer. In addition to taking part in many group exhibitions, she had her first solo exhibition in Barcelona in 2010.

Inspired by surrealist painters, children’s books, art deco, bright colors and the geometry of nature, Janine’s designs are a enchanting mix of Scandinavian design and Slavic folk art.”

You’ll love it.
