Worked with the core team to scale the original format of Grassroots DesignFest to a virtual platform (2020-21) and continued with the team to support the expansion of the core program.

Integrated human-centered design methodologies into research and development of a digital tool to impact physician decision making in the emergency department at Johns Hopkins. Throughout the first leg of our research, I co-facilitated a studio which lead students through the human-centered design process. This studio uplifted key tensions of physicians when making diagnostic decisions for patients with lower respiratory tract infections (LRTIs).After the studio, I worked with the core team and physician to spearhead a workgroup which helped to build out the tensions uplifted in the studio. The end goal of the workgroup will couple the learnings from what kind of content physicians would like to see (the studio) and pair it with how physicians become familiar with new tools (Experience Mapping + wire-framing) in order to pragmatically build out a digital tool to test with physicians.

Partnered with the core Social Innovation Team to help expand current projects and implement human-centered strategies into their portfolio. I worked to scope a series of Listening Tours — focus groups which were lead for and made of community members — around sexual health and wellness. Alongside the community outreach lead, I co-created internal organizational tools which structured these community conversations.Additionally, in partnership with the Social Design MA program, I co-facilitated a year-long studio which lead students through the human-centered design process and product ideation around the Listening Tour data. I worked with the team to integrate students into outreach and expand innovative methods to uplift community voices. Lastly, I curated an interactive exhibit which highlighted the student team and SIT's work in order to leverage community feedback and promote further conversations within community.
