User ResearcherI'm Katya, I do research at the intersection of technology, psychology, and design. |
Data-Driven Product DesignAttitudinal research, workshops
Connected devices present new opportunities to advance design through data collection in the wild, however it is still unclear how. Through a series of workshops, we investigated industry and academia perspectives on the future of data-driven design. |
Data Enabled Contextual InquiryDesign ethnography, contextual inquiry
I investigated a method that enables sensemaking around live data. The method was explored through the deployment of a collection of Bluetooth speakers that capture and stream live data about their movement and operation. |
Online Political Discourse ToolsWorkshops, speculative design, in-depth interviews
Televised debates remain a key point in elections, during which there are vast amounts of online activity. I explore the issues and opportunities, using a design-led multi-stakeholder approach to understand both the audience and expert perspectives. |
Interactions with Data VisualisationsUsability testing, cognitive load testing, interviews
It can be difficult for people to understand the meaning of data. Presenting data to the public in an appropriate way may also increase citizen’s willingness to participate in data collection. This study explores how large screens can support data exploration. |
Social PrintersDiary study, research products, interviews
Social Printers are physical devices that create a pseudonymous social network between households during televised political debates. Through studies conducted around the Scottish Parliamentary Election and EU Referendum in 2016, we aimed to understand how physical devices could be used to engage viewers with televised political debates. |
Device use alongside debatesHome observations, contextual inquiry, ethnography
A study conducted during the 2015 UK General Election debates, explores attitudes and practices around the use of personal devices during televised election debates. Through at home observations with 18 participants using cameras, I explored what viewers do on their devices. In-depth interviews around the footage explored the motivations behind this use. |
