About Heidi Vilkman

I am Heidi, a UK based biophilic surface designer. I grew up between two worlds: Finnish and British heritage.
I was born in Finland but moved to UK to study. That was over 25 years ago. Somehow, I never left, although still have a connection to my beautiful home country where I return at least a few times a year.

Experiencing life in two countries has helped me to see stories in different cultures and landscapes and turn them into creative projects. Very early on, I realised my special connection and love for nature. My hand-built natural cottage in Finland, Elämän Puu (Tree of Life), taught me that sustainability needs to be lived, not just talked about.
