I am a lecturer of visual communication design in Aalto ARTS department of Media. My background is in graphic design, but I have a special interest in packaging design and developing education.

I manage Pack-Age, an Aalto-level packaging design minor, jointly taught by 6 teachers from 4 different schools. It is focusing on interdisciplinary and project-based-learning involving real packing design challenges from the industry. I also teach packaging design for graphic designers at the Department of Media in the School of Arts, Design and Architecture, and I am frequently also invited to lecture in related courses taught in other schools.

I co-ordinate study projects and my students have succesfully completed over 30 projects with challenges from external stakeholders and industry.

Apart from educational projects I have worked as project researcher in Packaging experiences for LOHAS consumers (LOHASPACK 2011–2014), and responsible researcher in Valuepack (2014-2016) Tekes projects involving a large number of companies and organizations from packaging value chain.
