Bio
Hannu Karvonen
Maiju has one of the most positive attitudes I have come across. She has a broad experience from different domains and learns new things quickly. I have also noticed her can-do attitude in different situations: she has always delivered what is expected - and often even more. Would definitely recommend her for UX and other user-related work!
Aino Mensonen
I’ve known Maiju since the first grade. We’ve worked closely in same team first at KCL and later at VTT for 8 years. Maiju is a multitalented scientist, expert in paper science, user-centric studies and user experience. She is very productive in writing scientific papers; she is super in finding the background materials, writing the part of previous studies and explaining the scientific frame for the paper. Maiju takes the initiative and inspires others to collaborate. She is a good listener and excellent facilitator. Maiju is a hearty co-worker, whom you always can count on; she’ll deliver what she has promised in agreed time schedule.
