Ulises Navarro Aguiar is a Senior Lecturer at HDK-Valand Academy of Art and Design. His scholarly work explores questions related to design in social and economic life, crossing disciplinary boundaries between design studies, organization studies, and STS-infused economic sociology.

He holds a Bachelor’s degree in Industrial Design from Tecnológico de Monterrey, a Master’s in Design Management from the University of Salford, and a Doctorate in Organization Studies from the University of Gothenburg, funded through a Marie Skłodowska-Curie fellowship.
