###### Information Architecture II  |  2021

This assignment investigates the wayfinding experiences mothers, fathers, and caregivers encounter using the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children - better known as the WIC Program. 

Students mission in this human centered design project had two phases.


**Phase One** *(Group)*  
Research & Inspiration: In groups students conducted primary research interviewing family members who participate in the program. The secondary research had each group explore the overall human experience using WIC in stores, in their app, and during counseling sessions, as well as looking for inspiration for how the experience can be altered or improved based on interviews.


**Phase Two** *(Solo or Group if you wish)*  
Prototype & Design: Students select and redesign an existing aspect of the WIC experience that centers around the nutritional data & debit (electronic benefit transfer EBT) emphasis of using the program.

###### To Meme or Not to Meme | Fall 2022, Skywalk Gallery
This course, developed from workshops in NY and Milan with collaborator Sofie Hodara, explores the intersection of typography and augmented reality (AR). Students push the boundaries of letterforms, drawing inspiration from projects like Zachary Lieberman’s Weird Type and DIA’s kinetic typography, reimagining how text interacts in 3D space.

Through experimentation and play, students engage with type as dynamic, spatial experiences, utilizing AR to enhance its narrative and visual power. Each semester culminates in an augmented type installation at MassArt’s Skywalk, with this semester's, To Meme or Not to Meme, evolving into a letterpress exhibition on memes, investigating how digital and physical worlds converge to reshape contemporary typographic design.
