Interactive educational tool 
for humanitarians

We designed a digital playbook for the I’m Here Approach, a tool that serves as a resource for humanitarian actors who work with and respond to adolescents affected by crisis or displacement. This playbook is designed to provide interactive guidance, while also making the tools accessible and easy to use.

Creating design research artifacts

As a Service Design Apprentice, I worked with my team to conduct design research in efforts to explore how New Yorkers access and interact with city services. We worked with families, child welfare workers and support providers to create tools and resources that better account for family needs during the referral process. My responsibilities included research strategy, workshop design and facilitation, conducting interviews, data synthesis and mapping. My favorite part of the job was creating visual design artifacts that communicated our research to my team, our parters at the Administration for Children’s Services, and other government stakeholders.

Tactile Graphics for Vision-Impaired Learners

As a physical computing course assistant, I served as a liason betwen Disability Resources for Students (DRS) and the Human Centered Design and Engineering Department, working closely with a vision-impaired student to translate instructional materials and complete coursework. From this collaborative effort emerged learning moments around universal design, which were documented and submitted as a poster to the UW Symposium on Teaching and Learning.
