Hi, I’m Natasha, I’m an HCI & UX researcher and interaction designer. Currently I live in Barcelona, Spain, and recently I defended my dissertation for my PhD in Human Computer Interaction with LUT University. My goal as a research & designer is to create inclusive and engaging products, and the focus of my PhD is “Designing for Data Exploration” investigating how we can encourage and facilitate average people to interact with data about the world around them via technology.
In my free time I paint, draw comics, salsa dance, and teach at an educational summer camp during my vacation days. I also was born in the US and grew up in Mexico, so I am bilingual.
