Works by these artists, who are boldly renewing the field of contemporary glass, can be found in prestigious collections, such as those of Berengo Studio and the Museo del Vetro in Murano. Majuri and Hepo-aho have also been featured in numerous international exhibitions, such as the 2021 Venice Glass Week Exhibition at the Bel Air Fine Art Gallery.

Her works have been published In Urban Glass, Elle and Designboom.
