I conduct my Doctoral research in the field of Art and Desing Learning in Aalto

My study focuses on learning with digital technologies, develops participatory learning environments, and promotes creativity and student-oriented practicies through empirical design

Person profile
Background
I have experience as an educational designer as a freelancer, with the public sector, teacher
education, and learning material and learning environment development, e.g.
designing Makerspaces and design pedagogy for schools in Helsinki area.
My career as a visual artist and a designer in exhibitions, community art and public art commissions, has brought me to collaborate with multiple stakeholders: architects, construction
companies, city officials, schools, museums, curators, as well as the various
audiences and communities they engage with. In my work, there is a social
emphasis on sharing, collaboration, and participation. Through many projects, I
have gained experience in exhibition design and production, both informal and formal
context.
