Britta Teleman, Design researcher
My work includes freelance industrial design, lecturing and interdisciplinary collaborations. Projects range from norm-critical speculative design, furniture and home accessories, to methods for inclusive health innovation. I am also a founding member of design & architecture studio Objecthood, with clients such as Messe Frankfurt, KLONG, Skultuna, Stolab and Sagaform.
Swedish by nationality, I graduated from Central Saint Martins 2007 and now work in Halmstad as a designer and researcher. I am currently undertaking a PhD focusing on norm-critical perspectives in design and research related to child participation in care contexts. In parallell I also do lectures on design methodology and norm-critical approaches for various organisations and universities.
