\n I work as project lead/designer in externally funded R&D projects in the Arki research group at Media Lab. In my research I am interested in understanding theoretical and practical implications of broad participation in creative design processes. In particular I want to look at how can we design with care and contribute more to sustain commons? I would like to understand better how these two activities might relate to “innovation”. One attempt at that is my dissertation. In my design work I explore services, media formats, genres and technologies for collectives, communities and their social practices.
\n\n Besides being involved in R&D Projects, I do supervision of MA thesis and tutor students (mostly from the MA in New Media, but also from other departments). If you are an Aalto student, need help with your MA work and you think you might benefit from talking to me, send an abstract and your topic to me by email and perhaps we can talk.
\n\n During Fall 2015 I teach:
\n\n New Media Concepts for the Third Sector a Study project in the MA program in New Media
\n\n During 2014 I was visiting researcher and teacher at the Universidad de Los Andes in Bogotá - Colombia, collaborating with them in a new masters program in Design
