Life is meaningful once it is dedicated to the greater good. The death of my ego has shaped me into who I am today. I am not here to serve my ego, or focus on meaningless worldly attachments. I am here to find the extraordinary in the ordinary, and to give voice to the unspoken. Let us bring awareness to what matters; physical and psychological well-being, happiness, culture, and diversity through art and design. Let us bring an end to the meaningless, bourgeois, self-centric designs and help rebirth a strong, contextual, thoughtful, and community-oriented work.

Following The Dream

The dream of creating a work environment that promotes diversity, kindness, and equality in the creative field; focuses on well-being, history, heritage, and culture; finds people’s lives and stories intriguing; and lastly, since life is too short, creates fun, unique but relatable, colorful, and thought-provoking experiences through art and design.

THE USE OF COLOR AS A NARRATIVE TOOL, STORY-TELLING, AND CREATING NEW EXPERIENCES ARE THE KEY PRINCIPLES

Founded in Helsinki, Ego Død Studio is a consumer-oriented art and design studio catering to people who value creating experiences rather than a commodity, out-of-the-box ideas, well-being, as well as environmental and cultural sustainability.  

Ego Død Studio’s way of work is always in contact with physical, mental, and emotional well-being within its context, history, heritage, and local resources.

Oona Oikarinen, Project Coordinator
4UNI, 2023

"It was a joy to have Cansu as a photographer at the starting weekend of 4UNI 2023 organized by Helsinki Think Company.

Communication with Cansu was both before, during, and after the event very straightforward and clear, and collaboration worked very smoothly. With only short introductions, Cansu provided us with a bunch of great photos and videos that were clearly organized and well edited.

I can definitely recommend Cansu as a photographer for any kind of events and workshops!"

Language

It would be my pleasure to meet people with diverse backgrounds from all around the world. Hopefully, we will find common ground by working in English.

Way of Work

I love traveling, experiencing new cultures, and meeting new people; therefore, the way of work is on-site, remote, and hybrid.

How may I be
of service?

Excited to work with people who are ambitious, love what they do, have a story to communicate to the world, and seek meaningful design.
