About Claudia Perez
In 2019, Claudia Perez led the redesign of the Library of Congress’s digital catalog interface after observing that 68% of academic users abandoned search sessions before retrieving a full-text item, not due to poor metadata, but because the interface forced sequential decision-making in a context demanding parallel sensemaking. She introduced adaptive faceting that surfaces contextual filters based on real-time user intent signals, mouse hover dwell, scroll depth, and cross-tab navigation patterns, rather than static taxonomy trees. Her work shifted the field’s focus from ‘findability’ to ‘cognitive resonance’: how well an interface mirrors the way people actually assemble knowledge across fragmented sources. She co-developed the ‘Interface Affordance Mapping’ framework used by NIH and UNESCO to audit equity gaps in scholarly discovery tools, revealing how default sort orders systematically deprioritize non-English-language research. Claudia doesn’t optimize for clicks; she maps epistemic labor.
