Lena Macau

Designer and PhD candidate at the University of Barcelona, she investigates how design can promote health and well‑being in domestic environments through the creation of salutogenic objects. With training in design (EINA) and advanced studies in art direction, user experience, and design research (ELISAVA, BSM‑UPF, IdeoU, MBDesign), she works at the intersection of strategic design, health, and user experience. She has led projects in various fields—particularly in health and education—for both the public and private sectors. She currently combines professional practice with teaching at the University of Barcelona, EINA, and UOC.
