Joanna has a background in architecture, urban design, and media and digital design. She is currently working as as associate professor at the Digital Design department of the IT University of Copenhagen. Her interests are in the way urban communities self-organise around issues of interests, such as alternative ways of production and consumption, and how they engage with digital technologies (through design-like activities) to achieve their aims. Her work is mainly situated in the fields of participatory design and computer supported collaborative work.

Welcome to ITU Design Challenges

On the 26th of April 2021, we will launch the very first ITU Design Challenge, which is the IT Help Desk Design Challenge! HelpDesks in organisations are the ones who help us with many of our everyday grapples with technology. This time, the HelpDesk is the one asking for help and we are eager to step in. The IT HelpDesk Design Challenge will be an internal ITU challenge open only to ITU students. 

The idea with ITU Design Challenges is to allow for and enable student participation in solving issues of societal concern and with real social impact, whether at the scale of an organisation or much more widely. Don’t hesitate to contact us if you want to know more or if you have suggestions for Future Design Challenges!
