I am a design and textile professional in pursuit to find a way to work for a future based on circularity and a new kind of prosperity. I have thirteen years of design experience as a commercial product designer. I have participated in various projects ranging from fashion market research to brand creation and production to organisational changes. My work has included many travels to Europe and Asia both for inspiration and production purposes. I have a Master's Degrees in Fashion Design and Service Design. I am also a visiting lecturer at Helsinki Design School introducing Fashion Marketing students to working with colors and textile materials.My working methods are organized yet creative, independent yet social. I have a curious mind by nature, and I am at best when I can find new connections between unexpected directions and connect people in order to co-create new solutions. As a Fashion Designer I was a part of a team creating whole collections from research to cherished garments. My daily routines involved project management, quality control, collecting data and analysing it. All in cooperation with colleagues and suppliers from all over the world. I have a profound understanding of sales formation, the economic indicators of the apparel market plus a proactive mindset for sustainability.I have dedicated my personal life to slow-consumption and immaterial values. My professional goal is to implement design thinking, futures thinking and systems thinking in order to fuel the inevitable revolution that will change the way we make business and profit in respect of the global well-being. https://sites.google.com/view/johannasalovaara
