Helena Strömberg

Senior Lecturer at Design & Human Factors

Helena Strömberg studies the role that design of products and services can play for creating the preconditions for sustainable everyday activities. She applies user-centred design methodology to explore which new demands emerge when products and services should enable new sustainable ways of solving people's everyday needs, function as a part of sharing schemes or product service systems, or support more resource efficient interaction patterns. The goal is to find ways of facilitating adoption of sustainable innovations and activities. The central application area is sustainable mobility. Helena is also the Director of Chalmers Master's programme in Industrial Design Engineering.
