My Favorite Project ✈️
My graduate thesis, "Weighted: Designing Towards Fat Liberation" was an exploration of design offerings made to reduce social isolation in spaces as a result of anti-fat bias.
My project "Flex", a study on redesigning our airplane seats to create a size-inclusive flight experience, was featured as part of the Museum für Gestaltung Zurich's exhibit Design for All? Diversity as the Norm (2024). The project was also featured in the accompanying book.
