Ulla-Maaria Mutanen about herself, "I'm currently working on my PhD at the Center for Activity Theory and Developmental Work Research at the University of Helsinki. My research focuses on the emerging forms of collaborative design activity. If you're interested in my research, visit my home page at the University of Helsinki.

Helge: Desing & Craft might like to be in touch with people working with new ways of promoting, marketing and developing methods for design and crafts people. Let's stay in touch. I ask U-M M to become a twitter-friend of the Frö-project. What did she say?
