As a teaching artist and co-founder of Girlz by Design, we’ve created curricula focused on a variety of design disciplines, from animation to UX/UI. Pictured here, we lead a group of students to create their own virtual interior space using SketchUp.

Girlz by Design partners with Serve Your City Ward 6 Mutual Aid to create a design material that supports a community-identified need. By following the design thinking steps: empathize, define, brainstorm, prototype and test, students grow their understanding of the iterative design process and the importance of human-centered design.

Students think critically about a need in their local community and create a final design material that Serve Your City can actually use. For two years, we have supported students to create a wellness pamphlet that’s distributed to 500 D.C. students each school year. Visit @Girlzbydesign on IG for updates.
