I have an incurable curiosity to understand how our brain responds to design — from the offices that claim to boost productivity, to the healthcare systems that definitely don’t, to trying to book a train ticket and ending up in a labyrinth of pop‑ups and forgotten passwords.

With neurodesign we can rewire our lives, societies, systems and brands to support wellbeing and sustainability.

Call me crazy, but we can do it.
(I do come with Finnish Sisu*, insane, stoic determination.)
