Carolina Ramirez-Figueroa is a Senior Lecturer in Information Experience Design at the Royal College of Art.

She is interested in understanding the cultures, practices, tools, and economies of working and designing with living systems at different scales, ranging from experiences, products, architecture, and urban ecologies. Carolina's work also looks at imagining and delivering possible futures to challenge and provoke discourses on future technological, social, cultural, political, economic, and environmental issues.
