Personal profile
Research interests
I am interested in the traveler's experience in creative (craft) tourism, especially through my autoethnographic experiences. I am also interested in the experiences of different actors in craft tourism. I am also a service designer.
I am currently working at the University of Lapland's Education and Development Services on various projects. Besides my work, I actively practice handicrafts whenever I can. So crafts are my passion, both as a researcher and as a private person.
