Jana Radwan

Interaction Designer & HCI Researcher

I investigate how technology shapes human agency through tangible interfaces, human–AI experiments, material investigations, and qualitative research. My practice asks how designed systems influence what people do, understand, and experience.

I graduated Cum Laude from the University of Washington’s Interaction Design program in June 2026. My experimental design practice combines research-through-design, physical prototyping, and critical inquiry. At NASA Langley, I translate complex operational data into clear interfaces for engineers.
