Catherine Wieczorek is a designer exploring the role of multiple, conflicted temporalities in design and infrastructure. Her research asks how different, often competing, senses of time are produced, negotiated, and lived. She is a PhD candidate in Human-Centered Computing at Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing, where her work spans public libraries, health, archival data, AI systems, and agriculture, examining the conditions technologies impose on the people who live and work within them. On occasion, she also produces books, prints, and zines, and participates in group exhibitions.

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.

Catherine (she/her/hers) is American. Her last name can be said two ways, and sheโ€™s happy with either:
