Challenge


Siloing within the RISD Master of ID (Industrial Design) department. First year students, second year students, and teachers are disconnected from one another, making it difficult to understand people's interests and expertise.

Outcome


I designed the Share Board, a participatory artifact geared towards increasing interpersonal information opacity and promoting collaboration. The initial board was built for the graduate ID department at RISD.  I then created a folded paper version of the board, making the resource accessible and easy to implement in other communities. Share Boards are part of my graduate thesis body of work.
