About Andrea Dahlén

California-born, Scandinavian-bred and now Copenhagen-based, I identify as a Swedish-speaking Finn (think Moomin). A belief in good design and sustainable, creative solutions has been a common thread throughout my international upbringing, studies and various work experiences. As a highly empathetic person, I strive to bring value to people’s lives.

I studied design at Chelsea College of Arts, Design Management at Parsons the New School of Design, Sustainable Purchasing at Copenhagen School of Design & Technology and completed an MA in Design & Environment at Goldsmiths, University of London. 

I have over 10 years of experience in digital, design and communications, having worked at Index, AIAYU, Designit, the Carbon Trust, Whitespace and NHS. I am currently Digital Lead at Shelter Scotland, where I bring my knowledge, international background and curiosity to an in-house team working with people for the promotion of a basic human right: a safe home to live in.
