She has been a member of the city council of Helsinki since 2004. She is also known for her poetry.
Sinnemäki was born in Helsinki, Finland. She has a B.A. degree in Russian literature from the University of Helsinki. She has one child, Siiri (born 1990). Sinnemäki is the author of a series of Finnish pop lyrics of the 1990s and early 2000s for the band Ultra Bra.

Sinnemäki has stated that her greatest disappointment in her political career is the decision on nuclear power in 2002. On the other hand, the law on civil partnerships was the biggest victory of her political career.
