Raelin Musuraca

For over 30 years, Raelin Sawka Musuraca has leveraged human-centered research and design methods to help businesses generate actionable insights and deliver value for stakeholders. 
 

Currently, Raelin is an Associate Teaching Professor and the Director of the Master of Human-Computer Interaction program at the Human-Computer Interaction Institute (HCII) in the School of Computer Science at Carnegie Mellon University. Her goals are to help students develop critical thinking and empathic skills, build a strong methods-based foundation, and understand the drivers of business value, so that as professionals, they can execute research in a manner that drives deeper behavioral and motivational understanding, and also clearly articulate the business value of that understanding.
 

Previous to joining Carnegie Mellon, Raelin managed UX research and strategy efforts at BNY Mellon, American Eagle Outfitters, and her digital firm, Sharp Creative, through which she consulted with companies in the healthcare, financial, industrial, and consumer product sectors.
