Welcome to MPH-Effects
My name is Minna Heikkilä. I'm freelancer light and costume designer, but I also work as a board operator and occasional roudie. My roots are firmly in Finland, but nowadays my homebase is mostly in Basel, Switzerland.
I have studied fashion design in Häme Polytechnic graduating in 1998 and light design in Theatre Academy in Finland (Master of Arts 2008).
I have worked in theatrical world since 1996 in various circumstances and geographical locations, such as Thailand, Norway, Switzerland, Germany - and of course, my homeland, Finland. Travelling and touring are things I fancy great deal. I have experience in spoken drama, dance, performance art and opera among others, and have also worked a lot in productions aimed for young audiences.
MPH-Effects is both my company and my artistic signature.
On this homepage I have collected some examples of my outlook on life and art. You'll also find some documentation of my past projects in the picture gallery labelled "Light". Should you have any questions about my work, I'd be more than happy to answer them -just drop me a line.
For the absolutely latest news and fun stuff, check out my weblog.
I recommend using Mozilla Firefox for viewing this site.
