“The key objective of the principle of inclusive design is to ensure that no one is cast aside or excluded due to design solutions. A barrier-free environment works for everyone. When an environment is barrier free, no special arrangements are necessary, which saves money.”

She has worked for over 20 years with barrier-free built environments, starting as a coordinator for the Finnish Design for All network and then as an expert at The Finnish Association of People with Physical Disabilities. Marjo specialises in inclusive design especially in the built environment, and she is a renowned speaker and trainer: “Thank you for the excellent training! I don’t think I’ve ever attended a course before that has offered such an eye-opening experience to this many attendees.”
