An 8-week journey to explore how creative collaboration and participatory design could help solve interesting problems.
Team 1 Designer & 1 Developer, Infinite Collaborations
Timelines Summer of 2015 - 8 Weeks
During the summer break at graduate school, two of us—an engineer and designer duo—set off on a journey across across India. We invited requests for collaboration and offered our services and skillsets.
We worked with several organizations —some in the social sector, a healthcare startup, a permaculture farm among others. We got together to discuss and breakdown some of the issues that they were faced with, explore how the collaboration could help and then go figure out how to adress these issues together. Some of the areas where we provided support included building/ improving their digital presence with a website or an app, conducting user experience audits, developing social media campaigns, branding and collaterals as well as strategy.
This journey was more than just a series of collaborations—it was a chance to learn from the community and discover ourselves.
