JULIA FALIŃSKA

RESEARCH. DESIGN. SPORTS.

ABOUT

I am an HCI Researcher and Designer with a passion for developing systems that support behavioral change in health, sports, and social impact contexts.

 

Previously, I gained experience at BMW Open Innovation, where I worked on early-stage innovation efforts, including the development of an AI-driven system to support innovation processes. I have also contributed to a range of industrial and interaction design projects for organizations such as the European Space Agency, Ferrero, and Braun, spanning work from the development of a smart fencing glove to exploring concepts for future lunar habitats.

 

I received my undergraduate degree from Northwestern University and my master’s degree from the Polytechnic University of Milan. Alongside my academics, I represented Northwestern as a Division I and Polish National Team fencer. Competing internationally, I earned multiple distinctions such as Vice-World Championship, European Bronze Medal, several All-American honors, multiple medals at Polish Cups and Championships, and appearances in NCAA Championships
