The past years I have dedicated to educating myself in the area of futures thinking. I have shared the discipline and the tools with a number of organisations, companies and university students, talked about the approach at start-up events. I will continue doing this and hope to find like-minded people to do it with.

I have led a number of design thinking workshops and helped demanding clients with service design challenges, analysis and UX design.

Yet, I believe into continuous learning and I defended Interaction Design Master's Degree at Estonian Academy of Arts the spring of 2021. Knowledge of political science and EU law has become useful when consulting political campaigns, experience as a diplomat has helped service international corporations.

I consult and act as facilitator in the following areas:

  • Futures thinking
  • Service design, design thinking
  • PR, lobby, internal communications
