Diana is the Lead Product Designer of the Earth Sciences Department in the Barcelona Supercomputing Center. Her work focuses on the design of products and services within the three research lines of the Earth System Services Group: climate, air quality, and the winding intersection between climate and health. She firmly believes in the importance of a Human-Centered Design approach that empowers and democratizes design and usability, seeking to create experiences that help us live in a safer and equitable world.

After working over a decade with organizations like UN Woman, NASA, The Rockefeller Foundation, Google and Lever for Change, to name a few, Diana discovered the value of empathy and connection by means of social innovation. She then decided to invest herself, end to end, in the whole life cycle of products and services: from the User Experience Research, through the User Interface Design and all the way up to the final stages of iteration and user testing.

Her passion for Service Design started during her BA in Visual Information Design, back in 2006. Afterwards, she decided to deepen her studies in a Master’s Degree in Design and Direction of Digital Products and Services in Elisava, which then, led her to further explore innovation frameworks through the Postgraduate Program in Innovation and Design thinking, in BAU.

All these culminated in a new interest in participatory design and the new approaches in User Experience research methods that she currently implements in her latest works at the BSC for EU-funded projects, C3S projects and public entity contracts with AEMET, among others.
