Supersuper is the creative studio of Joni Kukkohovi, an accomplished and award winning Art- and Creative Director with media independent approach to design and creativity.
Hi, I’m Joni Kukkohovi, a Helsinki-based creative who finds inspiration in solving complex challenges through thoughtful design and strategic thinking.
I’ve worked with diverse range of industries and creative disciplines, giving me the experience to craft creative solutions that connect with people and drive results.
Before my career in advertising, I was deeply immersed in visual communication from an early age, becoming part of the pioneering wave of Finnish graffiti artists. By the age of 15, I had already established my visual language in commercial projects, painting large murals for advertisements, designing sets for broadcast companies, and creating visual identities for retail spaces like restaurants and fashion stores. This commercial exposure led to my first solo exhibition at the Helsingin Juhlaviikot festival, commissioned by Helsingin kaupunki.
I eventually left the art scene to pursue a career in advertising, where I quickly advanced from assistant to Executive Creative Director at some of Finland’s top-ranked agencies. Over the years, I worked with clients across a wide range of industries, including brands like Glacéau VitaminWater, McDonald’s, Elisa, Reima, and several fast-moving consumer goods companies.
Before shifting my focus to my creative studio, I stepped away from the big agency world to co-found the holistic natural beauty brand Supermood. There, I developed the visual identity and branding while managing the executive and administrative side of the business. This start-up allowed me to apply everything I had learned in the ad-agency world.
Today, I focus on creating high-quality, meaningful creative work through my studio, Supersuper. My aim is to craft visually compelling and conceptually rich solutions that resonate with both clients and their audiences. Drawing from decades of diverse experiences—from street art to brand-building—I thrive on pushing boundaries and delivering designs that leave a lasting impact.
