In the coming months, I’ll be rolling out a new project, something that’s deeply important to me. This will be a platform for women’s health empowerment, specifically for endometriosis sisters.
Read MoreFor this experimental exercise, I spoke with three willing participants; two friends, one a stranger. I wanted to learn about the less visible attributes that comprise their being. I wanted to dig into places often unseen, and see pieces of suffering, joy, curiosity that make us all the humans we are.
Read MoreIn this design experiment, I played with words, using movement as a means to show meaning.
Read MoreBlockchain has immense power for good. It has the potential to remedy complex issues that affect humans on a global level. Our food system is one such problem blockchain has the ability to positively change. Our current food system is a network of disjointed people, processes, and parts. The lack of interconnectivity leads to food waste, health outbreaks, inefficiencies and an overall unsustainable system. With blockchain's capacities, we can increase transparency and develop a healthier, more productive and sustainable food system.
Read MoreOur brains unconsciously seek out patterns. This exercise proved the rapid capacity of the for pattern recognition. We are wired to create something out of seemingly nothing. As designers, this is an excellent evolutionary trait. Given few resources, we are able to generate patterns, find deep insights, and create!
Read MoreBlockchain is still a relatively new and evolving technology. One of the main issues with its newness is lack of awareness. Many people don't even know what it is actually is or have merely heard the term and don't know much beyond that. There's a huge need for education – education for the general population and education to create highly skilled blockchain developers.
Read MoreOne of my strengths is the excitement and energy I bring to work, and life in general. However, this strength sometimes leads to consequences. One is that I get overly excited, and try to do more than what's truly feasible or reasonable for a project.
Read MoreIn the case of creating a more transparent, sustainable food system, participation is critical. Just as combating climate change won't happen if only a handful of people work to address it, implementing blockchain into the foundation of our food system won't work unless all parties involved play their part.
Read MoreAnyone have some good resources to share on blockchain and our food system?
Read MoreGood design comes from a deep understanding of systems. Our food system is an immensely complicated system layered with a multitude of entities, many of which are unknown to one another. The disjointed and lengthy chain that comprises this system makes it easy for outbreaks to occur and extremely challenging and expensive to battle them.
Read MoreCalibrate came out of an earlier project, but due to prior constraints, I was unable to go into depth on research and app design. I've been given the opportunity to have an additional four weeks to expand on this project and fill in the gaps I want to explore further.
