Paula Te

 

Paula Te (she/her) is an interface designer and researcher focused on the intersection of crafting, learning and culture. She explores interactive artifacts and environments at the intersection of the digital and physical that push beyond the boundaries of the norms and explore alternative visions of the future. Her practice centers community and people from diverse backgrounds, welcoming folks to co-create and contribute their vision of the future, allowing for multiplicities of experiences to unfold.

She was previously a researcher at Dynamicland, investigating a new computational medium woven into physical space, and prior to that was an interaction designer at Xerox PARC. Her work on digital fabrication and interfaces has been featured in Ars Electronica, SIGCHI Interaction Design & Children and Eyeo Festival.

She is a collaborator on a-forest-of-frames.net, a series of interface explorations made by women and BIPOC, and at 50years.today, connecting with narratives on the Chinese- Indonesian diaspora.
