About

I'm postdoc researcher in Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture (Helsinki, Finland), in INUSE Users and Innovation Research Group.

I've co-written and co-edited the books Product-Service-System-Design-for-Sustainability (Greenleaf, 2014) and Changing Helsinki? (Nemo, 2015).

My research focus is on FabLabs, sustainable materialist activists, the FABx meetings, user innovation and collaborative design. I'm a beginner at digital DIY, and, because of my demanding job, this is the third year I've tried to complete Fab Academy. (Wish me luck!)

My dissertation on European FabLabs is available to purchase as a book and download as a free pdf. (Graphic design by the stellar Emmi Kyytsönen / Karppi Design.) My papers are available on Research Gate and Zenodo.
