Natalia pierzchawka

To the utter annoyance of my poor parents, I have been always obsessed with asking the question 'why'. So, it is rather quite unsurprising that I ended up being curious for a living. I have a background in political science, psychology, and youth policy. I specialise in participatory and qualitative research methodologies. Moreover, I have been trained in user experience research. Currently, I reside in my fifth country: Ireland.
