Dr Gloria Gomez is co-founder, UX/UI design researcher at OceanBrowser Ltd (developers of OB3 – Online forums reimagined), adjunct senior lecturer at the Save Sight Institute, University of Sydney, and 2025-2026 executive committee member of the Flexible Learning Association of New Zealand.
Gloria undertakes applied design research in novel educational practice with Bridging Design Prototypes. She developed this approach during her PhD to gain entry to natural settings for working with difficult to access and technologically dis-inclined communities.
Individual designers (such as Gloria) or small organisations with incomplete R&D teams (such as OB3) have been able to carry out realistic studies with user communities. In Colombia, Denmark, New Zealand and USA, she has lectured and supervised graduate students of engineering and design backgrounds.
