Ympäristömuotoilijat - Designers for environment
At the end of 2021 I founded a small peer network out of personal need: The need to be connected to other designers working with sustainability in the public sector. I wanted to share best practices and support the sustainability transition through design in the public sector. I lead the network until the end of 2025 when I started my creative break.
Designers for environment is focused on promoting responsible design, aiming to advance sustainable practices both within the design field and in Finnish society at large. Members of the network work within various Finnish city and government organizations as part of multidisciplinary expert communities, such as Senate properties, Metsähallitus, Cities of Tampere, Oulu and Helsinki.
Designers for the environment utilize service design and design tools to promote sustainability goals. The members work together by writing together, organizing events and supporting each other in monthly meetings both online and offline. The community has also strong connections to the Finnish organization for designers (Ornamo).
