About Emily Saltz
Currently building Saltern Studio, a user experience research & design consultancy shaping technology to make human sense. Our services include research design, facilitation, research reports, and multimedia ethnographies, with a focus on media and technology companies developing products and services in the public interest. Reach out to chat if you\'d like to collaborate!Over the last decade, I\'ve led research and design to help people navigate our evolving information ecosystems and communities, both online and offline. My research work spans from NLP Q&A systems and blockchain-based provenance prototypes with the New York Times R&D Lab, to manipulated media disclosure frameworks with the Partnership on AI. Most recently, I\'ve worked on tools for communities, such as the Sensemaker toolkit for understanding large-scale conversations at Jigsaw (Google).I\'ve also shared my expertise as an educator, teaching usability at Parsons, and have published and presented my research and creative work at venues including CHI, Psychology of Technology, EPIC, and Eyeo. In winter 2025, I created a short documentary film,\"The 19%\"(forthcoming 2026) about civic resilience in Maine at the Salt Institute for Documentary Studies at the Maine College of Art & Design.
