Bio

Deborah Littlejohn is a researcher and Associate Professor of Graphic & Experience Design at NCSU, developing coursework in research methods, theoretical frameworks, and graduate design studios. By examining the tools and technologies through which people experience design, her work is guided by questions addressing the relationship between visual communications, new information environments, data literacy, and the ability of people understand, learn, and take action. Deborah’s current research in Data Visualization focuses on communicating complexity & science communication for non-technical audiences. In her graduate design studio, she works with students to develop future interfaces and proof-of-concept technologies through the design of user experiences in collaboration with the SE Climate Adaptation Science Center and the Durham Museum of Life + Science.
