Strategic Design Researcher at Horizon Europe
Throughout my professional journey, I have been honored with over 17 national and international awards and scholarships. These experiences have significantly shaped my growth as a professional and inspired me to mentor others. I now provide guidance to professionals and academics seeking international opportunities, helping them achieve their goals and advance their careers.
I am a Human Experience Researcher and Interaction and Service Designer with a passion for contributing to projects that drive digital innovation, fostering inclusive, diverse, and sustainable user experiences. Currently, I am working on the Nomad Movements and Digital Impacts in Cities (NOMADIC) Project, part of the Horizon Europe program, and I am actively seeking new opportunities in Ireland.

“Dianela is a professional with a solid academic background that could be of great interest for human-centric approaches, specifically in Design Research. If I had the opportunity, I would hire her myself, she has a lot of potential to be a great addition to a team.”
