Helsinki, Finland, July 08, 2020 --(PR.com)-- Digital creative toolbox Sumo launches this week Tuesday, positioned to take on the leading creative cloud suite and update archaic education systems worldwide. Sumo is the brainchild of chairman Lauri Koutaniemi, creator of Sumopaint.com, who makes it his life’s goal "to change education globally to be more fun and motivating for everyone" and co-founder and CEO Pasi Joronen, who views “creativity as a life skill for everyday use in solving any problem through action, that starts from a core belief in one’s own ability to create.”

“It is my life’s goal to change education globally to be more fun and motivating for everyone.” - Lauri Koutaniemi, co-founder and chairman @ Sumo Apps Ltd.

According to Mr. Joronen, “Educational systems sadly play a lethal role in one’s self-confidence in their creativity, and framing creativity as an artistic quality could not be more detrimental to development.” In addition to Sumopaint, the Sumo toolbox includes Sumotunes, Sumo3d, Sumocode, Sumophoto and Sumovideo, all of which are available with limited features for free, with pro licensing for personal use that include myriad extended features, and exclusive creative community and offline functionality for $9 per month.
