Building Community

A large part of my time spent studying design has been dedicated towards building community through events. I am particularly interested in events that are simple in their structure while providing enough structure for connection, play and connection.

Some of the ways this has been achieved is through the repeatable event Design Bites that was developed with the awareness of covid and its effects. We kept the format and meeting time consistent. Another stucture I used was a low-fi experience, in this case fresh baked bread onsite. This event encouraged others to contribute other baked goods adding to the communal enviroment.
