Saara Saarinen

I am a Senior Lead in the Innovations function, where we bring people together to develop and test solutions to societal challenges. This often requires learning together. I am particularly interested in interaction between people and taking advantage of intuition, creativity and visuality in advisory work.

I have more than 20 years of experience in working with marketing communications, education, instructional design and digital learning. I have led different service design projects in central government and other places. My education includes a master’s degree in arts, a bachelor’s degree in media and arts, and vocational teacher education, but I proudly call myself a generalist of societal change nowadays.

At Sitra, I lead the Kuutio team, where we develop a new method that makes cocreation AI assisted and datadriven. Read more about Kuutio and feel free to get in touch if you’d like to know more!

I am a passionate advocate for fast, agile, and creative ways of working. You should also reach out if you are interested in the combination of design and learning, innovation capability, or using creativity and cocreation as tools for change.
