Who we are

Hello, I’m FinnFinn.

I was born in Astoria, Oregon — the oldest settlement west of the Rockies — to a family of Finnish settlers with a touch of Russian heritage. My ancestors were fishermen, boat builders, loggers, and carpenters. My great-grandmother was a renowned seamstress. They built their lives by hand, yet always carried a fierce sense of independence and pride.

I grew up at long wooden tables on weekends filled with men dressed in dark suits, reading Russian newspapers, and my great-grandmother’s smorgasbord cooking on a cast-iron stove. Those gatherings taught me sisu — the Finnish spirit of being formidable against all odds. That same resilience lives in me.

That same spirit guides my work today. I don’t just design; I create statements. From T-shirts, sweatshirts, and hoodies, every piece I create carries a piece of that heritage: resilience, creativity, and truth.
