I am a Finnish architect and designer currently based in Helsinki. I work in the field of design and research, ranging from objects to urban projects.

My design ideology follows the guiding principle of inventive upcycling: turning unused and discarded things valuable and necessary, whether they are household objects or urban spaces. By combining the old and contemporary, the familiar and unexpected, I aim at bringing more character and stories to common concepts.

I have graduated as architect (MSc, Safa) from Aalto University in 2008, and studied also at TU Delft, Netherlands. At the moment, you can find me working on design projects, teaching at the architecture faculty of Aalto University and working on a project about creative use of urban space, Urban Dream Management.
