“I am a ‘multimedia artist,’ a gamification enthusiast, and I am deeply interested in game design, AV technology, and culture, as well as their intersections. I am quiet, attentive, and compassionate. I enjoy finding solutions to all kinds of problems.

I work in Kymenlaakso, in Kouvola, at the Kasarminmäki campus in Meduusa Studio. My primary role is as a gamification and digitalization expert in the Creative Industries Research Unit, participating in various projects. I am also enthusiastic about using imagination and often apply the method of ‘Lateral Thinking.’ I am passionate about developing AV and media solutions, digital gadgets, and shaping the present and future of the Future Experience Lab.”
