Kirsi Miettinen Savonia ammattikorkeakoulu Oy,

Hello members!


I am a lecturer in service design at a Savonia University of Applied Sciences, with experience as an entrepreneur and a background in working across both the private and public sectors in Finland and Estonia. 


I focus at the moment on teaching and applying human-centered design principles to drive innovation in services, empowering my students to co-create impactful solutions for real-world challenges while fostering collaboration and creativity in diverse teams.


Co-creation and design education withs and for children are my passions ;)

I have spent several years co-developing residential environments in collaboration with primary school-aged children and the City of Kuopio.


Love my job. 

To me, service design means...

Creating together the earthly paradise for ordinary people :)
