Biography

He started his studies on the graphic design programme at Partium Christian University, and went on to earn his master’s degree on MOME’s Graphic Design MA programme. During this time, he worked in digital product design and for various design agencies. On the strength of his MA, which drew on his interest in type and product design, he has started to work towards a DLA diploma at the MOME Doctoral School. His masterwork, a browser extension called Focus Ex, has been exhibited several times and has received awards.
His research focuses on the problems adults living with attention deficit disorder have with their reading. He studies possibilities of form, personalisation and interactivity in the presentation of digital texts and the reading process that can enhance attention and reading motivation for people with limited attention capacity.
In recent years, he has been involved in several courses as a lecturer and external lecturer. He is also a founding member of the MOME Disability Design research group and a member of the Technicity research group. In addition to his work at the university, he is involved in graphic design, UX/UI design and social projects.
