Teaching and Trainings

I teach a practice-based seminar that engages students in the real-world context they will be designing for and working with. They learn to select context-specific mixed methods to solve actual interaction design problems for partner companies.

Workshops about Human Centred Design I have designed and conducted:

• Ethical Consideration Workshop for Co-Designing Privacy Interactions on the Web
• Speculative Design Workshop to understand the possible consequences of algorithmic stereotypes for society
• Lean UX Design applied to (Remote) Usability Testing
• User Centred Design and Lean Prototyping
• Personas Workshop
