My guest today is Petra Salarić.

Petra Salarić is a multiple award-winning researcher, designer, an activist, and a founder of pstaboo, the first consultancy in the world that specializes in taboos. 

Petra has worked for almost 10 years in different areas of design and art – from graphic design to scenography, and across 3 continents before specializing in the area of taboos. 

Petra’s framework of working on taboo topics is currently the only existing framework that guides how to deal with taboos in projects. 

With her work, Petra aims to create space and the opportunity for people to talk about taboos we usually do not get to talk about, in order to be able to deal with these issues, take control, and achieve our full potential. Petra has collaborated with a number of NGOs, taught in universities, shared her work at conferences, and created a number of projects around the world. Petra is an activist and runs the only existing online abortion support group in Croatia. She is currently finishing her PhD at Loughborough University, UK.

In this episode, we talk about:

1. UX design, especially in the context of Online Intimacy

   
   



2. Taboos: what they are, why, and how to work with them

   
   



3. And more broadly, Petra’s unique perspective
