Catherine Wieczorek is a designer and researcher who uses design research to inquire into temporality: how time is produced, unevenly distributed, and made perceptible through the collective work of making with people. She is a PhD candidate in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing. Her work spans public libraries, health, archival data, AI systems, and agriculture, examining the values, assemblages, and anticipatory infrastructures that technologies produce and the conditions they impose on the people who live and work within them. She also occasionally participates in group exhibitions and produces books, prints, and zines.

Previously, Catherine worked at public health research centers and consultancies including the D-Lab at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, Flip Labs, and the Design Lab at the Center for Interdisciplinary Inquiry and Innovation in Sexual and Reproductive Health (Ci3) at the University of Chicago. Before moving into research-focused work, she started out as a graphic designer in Chicago. She holds a M.S. in Informatics from Penn State University, MDes from the IIT Institute of Design, and B.A. in Visual Communication from Loyola University Chicago.
