Pirjo Haikola
University Lecturer, researcher and designer, Melbourne VIC, Australia

I am a designer, researcher, educator, certified scuba diving instructor and underwater photography enthusiast. As an ‘underwater designer’ I am passionate about contributing to environmental design, more-than-human design and ocean literacy. I am currently Lecturer in Design Innovation and Technology at RMIT University in Melbourne, Australia. I am also a collaborator in the Reef Restoration and Adaptation Program (RRAP). My work has been exhibited in galleries internationally and my recent exhibitions include 'Urchin Corals and Process' in Sampling the Future NGV Australia (2021), 'Urchin Corals' in the NGV 2020 Triennial, ‘The Critical Tide’ at Helsinki Design Museum and at the European Parliament (2019), among others.
