Beautiful details from Finland, Sami singing. Savoy-teatteri. Helsinki.

WIMME MUSIC.

Yesterday I was totally impressed about Sami contemporary and traditional singing. They covered the whole hall with birds, animals and north sounds performed by Wimme Saari + RinneRadio, a group of electro jazz. The beginning was hard for me. No music only Wimme voice making animals and birds sounds. After three songs, the performance started to have a new concept. His voice was accompanied by this electro jazz band compounded by Tapani Rinne who was breaking the classical sounds of the bass clarinet creating a new environment. Juuso Hannukainen introduced techno rhythms with his way of playing percussion and Matti Wallenius gave us amazing perform with his different guitars. With last songs, my body and my feet were ready for dancing. Ready for partying. I had same feelings in Sonar Electronic Music Festival.

Their last CD, called SOABBI, is going to be out in some weeks. Very recommended! Yesterday, I bought it in the theater.

3rd Interview with Lore Arenillas of BELAZA GALLERY, Bilbao.

Sensitive and nice dialogue with Lore about her opinion of Bilbao, Design effects into Bilbao’s society and brief stories about her experience in international fashion design markets such as Bread & Butter Berlin + BCN, London Trade shows and small underground markets. She is very happy that Bilbao has this curiosity in Design , architecture and art but she remarked how basque people are traditional and classical. In my opinion, this can be a good combination for a new era inside the city.

Here you can listen to her ideas and opinion.;-)

*DESIGN IN SOCIETY* Interview with FUCK SKATE STORE by Iranzu Guijarro

FUCK, Bilbao. DESIGN IN SOCIETY.

2nd Interview: Jarabo and Juan Pablo from FUCK. Skateboarding and fashion store, Bilbao.

Juan Pablo and Jarabo, these two young and funny boys from Bilbao City, have been doing skate since many years. Their dream was to work in something related to skateboarding. I spoke with them about the concept of their store and how they watch Bilbao. FUCK is a small and cute store. Full of skate knowledge, practical skate tools such as a good shoes, beautiful boards or comfortable pants and a big sofa where clients and friends can sit down, chat and watch skate videos etc. together.  Jarabo and Juan Pablo are very social and open-minded boys. When I asked them about the whole transformation of Bilbao…They were happy, positive thinking and proud! They think that what it is happening in Bilbao is a natural step, from industrial city to design or service city. It is happening in many places. We compared Donostia with Bilbao – Donostia is France – they said. Donostia citizen have been very related to south french style. They defined Biarritz, Saint Jean de Luz… as the California of South Europe. hahahahh! It is true! And here, you can find a lot of stylish and different turist people. Bilbao has been an industrial city and Donostia a service city. They are more advanced in this things!

Here you can listen to them.

Looking for a job in Helsinki.

FROM PASSION TO PRODUCTION
Brain & Heart. Iranzu Guijarro.

After graduating in business administration, doing my first internship and my first safe job, I stopped to hear my emotions. I took time to sit down and reflect. Time to experiment fresh air, new connections (London, Madrid, Barcelona, New York, Denmark, Finland…) and develop my creative thinking. In recent years, I can play the hybrid role: Business + Creativity.

Observation and research are important skills.That’s why, I collect articles, pictures, movies, music, visit museums and know more about the curiosities of different neighbourhood. The interaction between culture and society update me. And in that way, I can be ready for designing new services, being part of a creative process of one brand, company or start up and making new connections to convert concepts into a product or service.

My way of working is participating in projects//brands where I can use both the language of business and my creativity. As I did in Coincidencias Refresh thinking Consultancy, Bakiosound Music Festival, Goola* Selection Of Quality Food, Design in Society, Dance of innocence, Impact Stories in Hub Helsinki… I like to be a creative entrepreneur. I have worked as a business coordinator as well as in marketing areas or hosting artists. I enjoy listening and talking to diverse people and I’m good at making mental connections which build up new ideas and inspire people who I am working with.
I live in Helsinki with my Finnish boyfriend, I would like to continue learning and developing my professional skills here in Finland. Starting a new internship or working as a junior can be an interesting opportunity. If you have a project which I can fit well, please get in contact with me! Everything is welcome!
