Seona is on the Expanding Agency team at Demos Helsinki.
She is the project coordinator for TANDEM, a research project using a deliberative approach to co-develop just transition pathways to sustainability in energy and mobility. She is also leading the topic area of ecological and transition justice.
Originally from Australia, Seona has over a decade of experience with transdisciplinary, multi-stakeholder research projects focusing on socio-ecological-technological systems and sustainability transformations. These range from developing narratives and modelling scenarios for future food systems, to co-creating low-carbon visions and pathways for cities.
Before joining Demos in 2022, she worked at the University of Helsinki, University of Melbourne and Co-Design Studio. Seona has a PhD in Infrastructure Engineering from the University of Melbourne.
Outside of work you can find her kayaking, hiking in a forest, foraging for berries or mushrooms, cross-country skiing or tucked away in a quiet corner with a good book.
