Designer
Master of Arts (Aalto University),
specialized in service and collaborative design
For me, design is first and foremost about understanding people, needs, and context – doing the right things right. I enjoy exploring complexity and the process in which things gradually start falling into place, even when it can sometimes be difficult. I’m especially interested in how more holistic solutions can be built through collaboration.
“Your needs are not inconvenient but rather guides that help to understand what is relevant to be designed for — I am here to listen beyond hearing, understand with a compassionate heart, and design for positive impact. As a designer, my mission is to make beings feel seen, considered, and cared for in a way that builds a sustainable future as part of this beautiful nature we have been blessed to live within.”
— Inkeri Mark
(“Tarpeesi eivät ole hankalia, vaan ne toimivat oppaina, jotka auttavat ymmärtämään, mikä on olennaista muotoilla — olen täällä kuuntelemassa syvemmin kuin vain korvilla kuulen, ymmärtämässä myötätuntoisella sydämellä ja muotoilemassa positiivisia vaikutuksia. Tehtäväni muotoilijana on saada olennot tuntemaan itsensä nähdyiksi, huomioon otetuiksi ja hoivatuiksi tavalla, joka rakentaa kestävää tulevaisuutta osana tätä kaunista luontoa, jossa saamme onneksemme elää.”)
Background & Experience
I hold a Master of Arts degree (Art and Design) from Aalto University, where I specialized in Service Design and Collaborative Design within the Design programme. My studies included several projects carried out in collaboration with companies and public sector organizations, both in Finnish and English. In addition, I completed a one-year Graphic Design programme at the Helsinki Evangelical College (HEO).
Alongside my studies, I also worked as an entrepreneur and collaborated with expert entrepreneurs. My work included both long-term collaborations and individual projects focused on developing business, customer experience, and brand through service design and collaborative design methods. During my final year of studies (2023), I also started an independent project on TikTok to share my thoughts and perspectives. The project gradually expanded into a multi-platform presence as a thinker.
