Research activities
My current work focuses on user-driven innovation. I have worked in several projects that have addressed the development of methods and theory for user-centred product concept design with the emphasis on user experience and user-inspiration.
My work has included planning and conducting case studies, organising seminars, workshops and publishing as well as teaching video-based methods for user-studies and co-design.
Also, the interaction design of this website is one my contributions to Design Research with Oliver Manner, who was responsible of coding, and Kristo Kuusela, who made the graphics design.
Designing with video book
My book "Designing with video: Focusing the user-centred design process" was published on this autumn (2007). I co-authored the book with a danish professor Jacob Buur. The book explains with numerous examples from various authors how video can be employed throughout a design process to promote exploration, sensemaking and change. The book features also a DVD with video examples from real projects. The book published by Springer, and can be found in online book stores.
Research interests
My central interest is in user-centred design - especially in the role of concepts that mediate co-design - and recently I have focused on video-based methods for fuelling co-design events.
