CHALLENGE

Teaching humans how to... human

As Product Strategy & Service Design Lead, I set out to create a modern school for relational education because we all deserve to have healthy relationships regardless of our upbringing. Think Brene Brown meets Stanford d.school. Responsibilities consisted of wearing many hats, spanning brand strategy, messaging, copywriting, art direction, packaging design, UX/UI design, product development, hiring & training, sales, and content development.

BRANDING

Perfectly imperfect

Many brands in the relational education space are either too Clinical or too Woo-Woo. Relating Between the Lines as a brand is designed to be Inviting while remaining  Practical. I achieved this by creating a playful, colorful aesthetic that replaces the discomfort and stigma often associated with "working on yourself" with awe and delight.

Like getting a masters in relationships

Learning how to be a better communicator or a better partner, often results in frustrating and fragmented Google searches. 

Relating Between the Lines brings together both the familiar and the lesser-known nuances important to the domain of connection-focused communication, and unifies it all under a cohesive, easy-to-learn framework.

LEARNING DESIGN | FACILITATION | BRANDING

Funded by a grant from Chan Zuckerberg Initiative to accelerate Design Tech High's (d.tech) implementation of new learning models, I was brought in as a Designer in Residence for 8 months to collaborate with the Stanford d.school to (1) improve d.tech's design programming for students; and (2) create various resources to help staff adopt design thinking as a change management process.
