Lyndsey Morley (Exhibition Designer). With over 15 years of experience in interior architectural design and project management, I have led numerous multidisciplinary projects across the globe. My career spans from working with London’s top branding agencies at Dalziel and Pow to contributing to the vibrant academic environment of Finnish universities. My journey began in interior architecture and retail design, where I specialized in transforming brand identity into engaging, user-centered spaces that leave lasting impressions. After relocating to Finland, I joined Vaasa University, where I initially contributed to the strategic redevelopment of key campus buildings. This role has since evolved, and I now hold a broader position within the Facilities Services department, overseeing the maintenance, development, and optimization of the university’s physical infrastructure. I thrive in dynamic, innovative environments, where I bridge creative vision with operational efficiency, fostering collaboration across teams to create spaces that inspire and support the diverse needs of the university community.
