As part of my research for my thesis, I applied to and was lucky enough this past term to participate in a Unicef/mDialog sponsored TDS (trans-disciplinary) studio run by Designmatters where the end goal was to develop new tools to support the growing global community of youth media groups and youth journalists.

For this project, I was selected as one of the students to travel to the Philippines and interview some aspiring youth journalists and the organizations who help them. I then later shared out insights from our trip, helped ideate concepts on new tools and systems for them to use. I worked on some of the visual UI design, as well as IA and UX for the final system design, which can be downloaded as a PDF.

Designmatters was recently featured on core77's blog.
