COLLABORATIONS
SYsTEMS-THINKING
I move between scales—from product to societal systems—connecting the dots for action.
creative prototyping
I craft unique and collaborative ways to test out ideas and experiences.
Storytelling
I leverage the transformative power of narratives to shift how people see and act on issues.
STRATEGIC FORESIGHT
designing radical futures
Organizations pursuing systems change often stay trapped in the paradigms that created the problem. Between 2019 and 2025, I embedded myself in Chicago's food systems transformation work—collaborating with grassroots organizations, municipal agencies, and a national research network—to explore how design can disrupt this.
These three studies show how design can support the collective work of systems change by surfacing diverse visions of 'better futures', challenging dominant framings, and opening up new pathways.
