Our story
The story of Family Creatives started already in 2016 when Heidi founded a business for herself, a company called HR Graphics. For two years, the company was a one-woman show – until Tuomas joined the team in the Fall 2018. Family Creatives Ltd was born 2019 – just before the pandemic. The latest addition to the group is Anna, who joined the company in 2019. All three are siblings, a real family and dynamic trio!
Our Creative Family consists of diverse graphic design, animation skills and IT specialists; our similar interests unite us at work and in our free time. We are open-minded and constantly excited to try something new and we want to grow as professionals.
What we also are…. We are cartoon artists, illustrators, musicians, science fiction fans, gamers, photographers, artists, karaoke singers.. and more?
What’s in common with all of us? First of all: we are siblings! Our parents have a home gallery for our drawings and paintings. We have always been very visual and eager to create something new!
