Playfields of Interaction

Like a curious, some may say annoying, three-year-old, Janne loves to ask ‘Why (not)’ to break new ground and open up space for change to flourish. Renowned for her interdependent, polymath mindset, she turns worlds upside down, shakes up beliefs, reveals naked truths, and strips down ideas to its core, without losing sight of one’s identity, ambition, potential, and environment. Resulting in an intriguing track record of innovative strategies, multidisciplinary collaborations, experimental frameworks and forecast narratives that guide growth (in a different direction) and bring values, ideas, goals, stories, and people together. Expect a not-your-everyday yet invigorating rollercoaster ride towards change, social innovation and collaboration.
