Hello! I'm Catalina.
I am Design Researcher, facilitator and project lead. 

My work lies at the intersection of Design, Technology and Society.  I explore the complexity of socio-technical systems, and design ecosystems that bring the realities of people at the center of the creative process. I do this in various ways: 

I enjoy working in close contact with communities through participatory design processes, conducting academic and non-academic research and crafting pedagogies for expanding dialogues in the classroom or elsewhere.

I complement my professional practice in research and strategy with graphic design, visual thinking and illustration. I am particularly interested in supporting projects engaged with gender, policy and digital technologies in the Global South.
