I am a designer and educator working with communities to create equitable and intersectional futures using design and storytelling.
Portfolio Projects
Community Development using Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD)
Collective storytelling for a new future + Connect by number
Using ABCD, design methodologies, and the change handbook I created tools to help foster community building, storytelling, and inclusive contracting.
The Future of Hand Washing
Using various methods such as applied behavioral science, behavioral design, and technology-led design. My team and I were able to develop a way for City Health Tech to integrate their handwashing product Opal into the Food industry. This speculative project uses three frames: Business, User, and Behavioral framing to rethink the constraints of this product's original frame.
Compensation Playbook
Collaboratively conducted secondary research and utilized existing primary research to determine best practices around equitable compensation for research study participants.
Tiny Stories about Freedom
Using Auto theory, magical realism, freedom dreaming, and autoethnographic research my team and I explored prison abolition and imagined new futures. In turn, creating Tiny Stories about Freedom: four future stories grounded in our experiences but ultimately set in the future.
CoDesgn: Colors of Nature
With the use of co-design, participatory design, and social design methods, my team and I were able to explore and challenge our notions of nature. As well as who is and who isn't allowed to have a relationship with it.
