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!"

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

The nineties may be trendy again, but having an outdated-looking website can have unintended consequences on the integrity of your brand, especially if you are a specialty construction company. My position at Greywater Corps started as an office manager but quickly transformed to include developing a modern website and branded materials.

Rethinking Shop & Safety Management
