Why East Helsinki?
East Helsinki isn’t just a place; it’s a mood. It’s a melting pot of cultures, backgrounds, and stories. In fact, East Helsinki is home to some of the most diverse populations in Finland.
Jenny’s designs don't shy away from the "full spectrum" of life. This book is a tribute to the beauty, the hardships, and the vibrant diversity that makes the East end the heartbeat of the city.
"One book can’t capture everything, but it’s a pretty great place to cast on."
