Case Studies from Practice
Research
I have always seen design practice and research as complementary. So, I continuously try to learn from emerging research while also trying to contribute back to it by sharing my reflections and learning with the broader community.
I joined the PhD programme at the University of Oslo in 2015. I wanted to further develop my understanding of design research and practice and to critically re-think what is it that we, as designers, design in the context of emerging smart technologies. I adopted a practice-based approach to research, which meant that my research was not purely conceptual but instead based on real-world design practice and exploration.
My thesis, titled Designing Smart Things, explores new and more participative ways of designing smart technologies. The design approaches and examples presented in it, show how the strategic impact of smart technologies on organisations and society can be thought of together with the values they embody, such as openness, inclusiveness, and understandability.
A selection of case studies and my published research is presented below.
