Meeting Rivers/Twin Rapids (2020)

Meeting Rivers (later renamed 'Twin Rapids') was my senior thesis at Parsons School of Design. The aim of the project was to develop alternate paths in both education and professional development for Indigenous Youth. Twin Rapids would have been a music festival with an all-Indigenous lineup.

Unfortunately, the Covid-19 pandemic cut the final iteration short and a pivot towards a more personal project was required, though the research and artistic interest remains valid. Hopefully the project can come to fruition in the future.

Ecoroute (2018)

EcoRoute was a project I did in the second semester of my sophomore year at Parsons School of Design. This was a departure in terms of form and deliverables as this was my first experience designing for 3D printing.

The concept revolved around developing a zero-waste water bottle company. In theory, 3D printing filament would be bioplastic created from the starch of the cassava root which, in turn, could be dissolved in boiling water without the damaging effects of polyethylene terephthalate (PETs), which are often used as single use plastics, despite their lack of ability to break down.

BEE (2018)

BEE was a project from my Junior year at Parsons School of Design and was my first time creating a wireframe for an app. While never officially published, the project was a new experience and, despite its rudimentary nature, was amazing to see the interactivity in real time.

BEE (Booklet for Emotional Emergencies) was created to distill the text heavy information associated with Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). We saw a lack of access to adequate mental health resources for young adults, and despite the effectiveness of DBT, the informational nature of a paperback document can be overwhelming in emergency scenarios. BEE allows for quick access to distilled information and helpful exercises at the push of a button.
