Suklaa means ‘chocolate’ in Finnish. (But that’s kind of irrelevant.) At Suklaa we are passionate about chocolate, but then again who isn’t? Our real love is creativity, and we are dedicated to producing and delivering great-quality creative work.

Creativity is difficult to define- but we think that a good way to put it (ok us and Wikipedia) is:
Creativity (or creativeness)..the products of creative thought are usually considered to have both originality and appropriateness. An alternative, more everyday conception of creativity is that it is simply the act of making something new.
This concept is central to the work we deliver. We strive to produce original, fresh and bespoke work to suit individual client needs.

Kristian Tapaninaho is from Finland (hence our name).
Initially a photographer by trade- Kristian has a good eye, but is way more than just a great photographer. It is unusual to ever encounter Kristian without a Mac, a fact that has led rumours that he is actually having a relationship with his laptop. He is an accomplished web designer and video-maker. In addition he is an arts educator with experience working in schools with Creative Partnerships and with students at The University for the Creative Arts.

Darina Garland is from Scotland her Finnish doesn’t extend much further than ‘I want chocolate’ (hence our name).
Also a photographer, Darina’s experience includes; running and curating an art gallery, producing exhibitions and arts project management. She also has experience working with UCCA and Creative Partnerships for whom she delivers as both a practitioner and a project coordinator.

Darina also likes Macs but it’s not comparable.

We are well-connected and also work in collaboration with various artists and designers.
