Design in Mind
Design in Mind was an organization I founded in 2016, and later remotely advised until it was discontinued due to the pandemic in 2020. The core of Design in Mind is a partnership with Cincinnati Public Schools, where creative-minded UC students volunteered weekly in local elementary art classrooms to assist with daily class activities, encourage creative thinking and introduce design-related careers. Design in Mind created and facilitated design projects to introduce design concepts like color, prototyping, 3D printing and more.
Over its four years, Design in Mind has sent more than 200 unique volunteers to 7 Cincinnati Public Schools and spent 2500+ hours in art classrooms.
