Miller Street Pathways to Better Housing
The Design Consortium (DC) is a student/faculty creative studio rooted in a collaboratively engaged design process. Within this framework, design faculty & students partner with community residents, organizations, educational institutions, and/or local activists to achieve a common goal. The traditional notion of designers “serving” clients is replaced by equal partners who - only through their work together - can create impact. This inclusive design model acknowledges that each participant brings exceptional knowledge to the relationship without which the work would not succeed.
The design work that I added to the project were additive in the major part of the project as the bigger decisions were pushing to a particular aesthetic that I felt I couldn’t contribute to, but help with adding particular design styles and elements to, I was tasked with working on stationary of gifts like journals, keychains, a poster, and imagery of mural designs.
