As part of Can't Stop Columbus, I am a project leader who works with a small team of volunteers to identify client needs, uncover pain points, and generate testable MVPs to assist Non-Profits in the city of Columbus. My role is to keep the group motivated and to make sense of the current state of the project and to guide the team and our clients from initial concepts on through design and development to arrive at solutions that best serve the needs of the client and their intended audience. I have also taken on other responsibilities as well to assist the organizing team of Can't Stop Columbus with User Experience Research. I have been conducting interviews and surveys to explore the rapidly evolving story of a growing Volunteer movement that is highly motivated towards doing good for their community. I am in charge of making sense of a complex system and creating assets that will benefit the organizing team to navigate their way forward so that they can serve the needs of their users.

I have taught Design Lab 1 in Fall of 2018 and will be teaching Collaboration Across Design in Spring of 2019. My passion is to encourage collaboration across silos and drive design projects that are influenced by my student's unique backgrounds. The incorporation of their voice and vision tempered by design concepts and business strategy works together to provide a solid foundation for the students to stand on as they push their journeys of self discovery.

Lorain County Community College

We created a student operated design agency at Lorain County Community College (LCCC). It operated independently from the college to work with a broad spectrum of clients, from entrepreneurs to multi-national corporations, to deliver a variety of crafted design solutions. Unity Lab was inspired by modern design thinking principles to establish a collaborative and multi-disciplinary agency. While this started as a class project it was treated professionally and became reality by building a solid business plan and presenting the concept to the college Deans, Administration, and Board Members.Unity Lab also took it's role seriously to increase LCCC's community outreach to inspire future students, artists, and entrepreneurs. This took shape by implementing design boot camps for high school and college students, held a juried arts fair that was open to the community members, and provided our time and expertise during entrepreneurial and portfolio review events. My role as creative director included a broad spectrum of responsibilities. I was equal parts mentor, advocate, manager, leader, marketer, and client relations. This boiled down to making sure that the team was on task, the college was kept informed of our business activities, products were ordered in a timely fashion, and clients were managed responsibly.
