What gives me hope is the collective power of community and coming together. There is something in there.

Doughnut Economics Scotland Network, along with Universal Recognition Movement, we organized this event as part of the Global Donut Days celebrations.

Truly reflecting intersectionality, underrepresented voices, an unacknowledged sense of hopelessness and discontent, lack of action, and the need to break the glass ceiling. These conversations can be fruitless if no one is hearing. Yes, it makes me uncomfortable and feel helpless.

What you see in these pics are honest & humble dialogues by people from academics, professionals in design & accessibility, charities & orgs working at the grassroots level, and the disabled community. Everyone shared their perspectives on what a fairer future means to each of us in Scotland.

Cover for a neuroscience journal (that didn’t get selected). I’m still proud of my attempt though😃. The illustration depicts the elements of the research publication that was based on brain regions of a blind person.

Enjoyed chatting about all things ‘co-design’

This project will always have a special place in my heart, it meant more than work for me, it is all about building deeper connections with people of Dundee, while co-creating.

Dundee’s Covid Memorial is in progress, stay tuned!

Co-design is a big part of my work, especially with underrepresented & vulnerable groups. Excited to speak at SDinGov, & share my journey in Service Design thru co-design.

I’ll share learnings from projects on Climate Justice, Social Innovation, & Tech-For-Good products for Child Centered Services
