Designing decision logic for human health.

Natalia trained as a physician in Poland and Italy at Jagiellonian University and Tor Vergata University of Rome, including a clinical placement at Massachusetts General Hospital, a teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. She subsequently completed a Dual Master’s degree in Brain and Mind Sciences at University College London and Sorbonne University, with neuroscience research placements at the Collège de France and the University of Helsinki.

She later completed the postgraduate programme Neuroscience Applied to Architectural Design at IUAV University of Venice, becoming the first Polish professional formally trained at this intersection.

Natalia practised medicine in hospital settings from 2007, primarily in the United Kingdom. Following a period of postgraduate neuroscience study, she returned to clinical practice and continued working in medicine until 2020. Her clinical experience continues to shape how she understands health, human variability, risk and the cumulative effects of environmental conditions.

Natalia led the Human Metrics Lab within HUME, the architectural studio founded by Itai Palti, operating at the interface of human sciences and architectural practice.

During this period, she collaborated on projects and research initiatives involving EDGE, Landsec, R&D for the Built Environment at Google, the Association of Children’s Museums and HKS Architects, among others.

Co-founder of the Venetian Letter, an independent editorial platform exploring the intersection of human sciences and architecture through essays and interviews with international thought-leaders.
