Case Studies
01 A Journey of Care: reestablishing trust in Military enlistment
America’s Veterans are in a state of crisis; the suicide rate of veterans is twice that of civilians, and the Veteran’s Affairs office is mired in controversy and bureaucracy. What if we could build trust and accountability at the very beginning of the military journey so that Veterans might be better cared for once they’ve left?
02 Speculative Futures with TONYC
Could using speculative design and Theatre of the Oppressed methodologies in a transdisciplinary approach, make imagining just futures feel more attainable and real? What if it is done by those who are rarely, if ever, asked to be a part of futuring and speculation? What might those just worlds be like?
03 Groundwater Arts
Groundwater Arts is an multi-city collaborative based in New York City, Washington DC, Baltimore, and Tulsa. We work within arts institutions and with individual artists to shape our practices in the face of the climate crisis.
04 UNI
UNI is a speculative currency based off of Everett's Many-Worlds Interpretation. It allows users to invest in currencies in parallel universes - the value of which is determined by artificial neural networks that consider a myriad of systemic influences on commodity prices based on bifurcation parameters.
05 Let’s Talk
Let’s Talk is a group of therapists, social workers, scientists, and designers who create multimedia resources that harness compassionate social media usage to shed new light on the individual, neurological, and cultural experiences and effects of trauma.
// Graphic Design
In addition to my work in service design, I have a strong visual design practice that informs my work. Follow the link to see a portfolio of my graphic design.
“In a fractal conception, I am a cell-sized unit of the human organism, and I have to use my life to leverage a shift in the system by how I am, as much as with the things I do. This means actually being in my life, and it means bringing my values into my daily decision making. Each day should be lived on purpose.”
