ABOUT ME

Human-centered Designer

I'm Natalie Joy Galactica Hodson, an industrial and interior designer fascinated by people and built experiences. Nice to meet you!

I love using my background in human-centered design thinking to craft subtle and clever experiences for physical environments. I am a multi-disciplinary designer always eager to learn new things and meet new people.

Interior Design Work

After 7 years of building experiences based on user research and design methodology, I wanted to go bigger - literally! Here are some examples of my work as an interior designer, from class assignments to remote consulting on a Houston bath remodel.

Exhibit Design & Fabrication

We Are Data exhibit for the Pacific Science Center, opening December 2019
Helping craft an experiential exhibit that focuses on our daily relationship with data collection, the unique patterns our data usage can make, and how it can make our lives easier. 

Website & Branding Design

How do you make used bathwater look sexy? My redesign of Greywater Corps's outdated website required a deep dive into both client and company needs to create a compelling user experience suited for a specialty market.

Woodshop Usability & Space Design

Pacific Science Center, April 2018 - June 2020
The opportunity and challenges layout planning, safety, and workplace culture all play when inheriting a legacy workshop.
