ABOUT ME

Human-centered Industrial Designer

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

I have a background in human-centered design thinking, and love applying it to craft subtle and clever experiences in physical and digital environments. Most recently I have worked in exhibit design at the Pacific Science Center and the Burke Museum in Seattle, WA, designing and fabricating engaging experiences for visitors of all ages (and levels of destruction... looking at you, toddlers!). 

Below are a few of my recent projects. For more details, please click "Tell Me More!"

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 My redesign of Greywater Corps's outdated website required a deep dive into both client and company needs to create a compelling user experience suited for a specialty market.
