I'm a design teacher and researcher interested in how design activities can become an effectual part in facilitating sustainability transitions. With a background in industrial and strategic design and in new media, I'm currently working as a senior lecturer on Design for Sustainability at Department of Design in Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture.

The overall focus of my doctoral research was to study how students in design with diverse professional backgrounds can pursue inter-professional sustainability, how university education and management can support this challenge, and how sustainability itself then challenges its academic context of learning.

My current focus in research spans from material sustainability to the design of sustainable product-service systems and to the facilitation of strategic co-design and transition processes.
