Pamela Pavliscak

Pamela Pavliscak studies how technology makes us feel, whether that's low-key anxious, oddly soothed, or occasionally unhinged. She’s a design researcher who looks at everyday internet experiences like group chats that won’t stop buzzing, apps we open without thinking, and the strange comfort of AI companions that listen a little too well. Her work has appeared in The Los Angeles Times, NPR, Fast Company, Quartz, and Slate, and she’s spoken at SXSW, TEDx, and Web Summit.

Pamela blends psychology, design, and cultural observation to make sense of why being online can feel both intimate and exhausting, and how technology might support emotional well-being instead of constant overwhelm. She has collaborated with organizations including Adobe, Google, IKEA, NBCUniversal, and The New York Public Library, helping teams design technology that doesn’t rely on guilt, urgency, or outrage to keep our attention.

She teaches at Pratt Institute, where she asks future designers to care about emotional impact first. Pamela is also the author of Emotionally Intelligent Design (O’Reilly). Her latest book, All the Feels, explores the emotional side effects of modern technology, and how we can stay human and stay sane without going totally offline. She lives in New York’s Hudson Valley with her husband, three daughters, two dogs and an ambitious number of open browser tabs, many of which are “important.”
