Short presentation

My research interest is on how to design for social interaction, and designing for social experiences related to sustainability, playful learning and interactive storytelling, combining physical and digital solutions. I have a background as a designer, company owner and project leader and my research is practitioner close, often using a research-through-design approach, where I am part of design teams developing and at the same time studying design processes and design solutions.
