Heidi has a master’s degree in textile design and a doctoral degree in industrial design. She’s interested in how (designed) ideas and objects are adopted,  domesticated, and become parts of the unnoticed, taken-for-granted everydayness. This interest is reflected in her teaching: History of Innovations and Design, Design-Driven Foresight and Design & Media Cultures all deal with design’s impact on culture and how the design profession has evolved as the surrounding culture has changed. Currently, she focuses on developing foresight education for AaltoEE and tries to find time to write about design pedagogy. Heidi is the director of the BA Programme in Design and Fashion and the head of the BA Major in Design.
