Areas of interest: - Social & Information Design - Design Research & Ethnography - Visual Storytelling - Cultural Identity, Heritage, & Equity - Decolonization, Pluriversality, & Horizontality I design, research, and collaborate with people in order to leverage the power of design and visual communication to positively change lives, challenge existing systems, support entrepreneurship, and develop community initiatives where design can have a leading role. I have a special interest in working with underrepresented groups, women, and minorities. I am currently researching the integration of heritage, diversity, and inclusion in the design classroom, community engagement, design collaborations across borders, decoloniality/pluriversality, and life-centered design practices.
