Congratulations to Satu Paavonsalo and Valentin Schwarz on winning the Wood U Innovate competition with their Bubbles with Benefits innovation! 🥳

Bubbles with Benefits is a cellulose based biodegradable alternative for plastic bubble wrap. @aaltoarts students Satu and Valentin came up with the Bubbles with Benefits solution at the Nordic Biomaterials with @aaltochemarts course in the summer of 2022.

We at the Aalto Digital Creatives had the pleasure of having Satu and Valentin participate in our pre-incubator program last autumn when they continued planning their next steps with the innovation!

How to utilize complementary colors in dyeing?

Complementary= Two colors that are on opposite sides of the color wheel.

On the right hand side is a bit too bluish silk which needed to turn in grey. Hint of complementary color Tangerine (🟠<->🔵) turned the fabric to light greyish ⚪️

Use the method if you need to change the tone but you don’t want to make the material any darker. Often the shade will appear even lighter. When needed, you can tint the “neutralised” fabric again.

🟣 airbrush to wet / dry surfaces,
🔵 combine techniques and make several layers with different shades ✨

ADC Snapshots 💎: Interviewing second batch participants ➡️

❄️ Please introduce yourself:
Over the past 20 years I have gained experience in design in different projects, industries and countries. Recently, I have focused on leading transdisciplinary research and design to nurture holistic innovation and systems thinking to achieve responsible and technological innovation.

❄️ Please introduce your business idea:
The Service Sandbox comprises building blocks representing what service creators should consider when co-creating and promoting service experiences in physical spaces. It allows them to roam and explore services rather than follow a linear path, opening up possibilities across services within users’ daily routines combined with their values.

With Service Sandbox, multidisciplinary experts involved in service concept ideation can better understand how technology fits into different physical environments and discover the right moment to bring digital to space by a systemic understanding of the customer’s needs and how they interact with the space.

❄️ What made you apply to the ADC program?
The possibility to engage with Aalto’s startup community and learn how to become an entrepreneur in Finland and make the Service Sandbox a business.

❄️ Name three things that have been the most valuable to you in the program:
Support from the coaches, tactical and strategic lectures on what consider in your business, meeting other people in similar idea stage and more advanced stage.

❄️ How are you proceeding with your business idea?
Most likely I will one day make it available as a digital tool.

❄️ Greetings to ADC followers:
Becoming an entrepreneur is a solo decision, but you do have support and many opportunities to make it happen. Joining a community is a great step!
