Role: Experiential Designer

Client: NYC X Design Week and Wanted Design Brooklyn

Collaboration with the MFA in Products of Design Class of 2016

As part of the MFA Products of Design course titled Design Performance, the class of 2016 created Engender: a roving collection of interactions that confronted the ways in which we design, consume, manufacture and perform gender norms. The interactions dissected the use of symbolism to express our gender identity, the use of gendered language, offered abstracted and realistic body parts as a means of reconstruction and performance, explored the use of scent as a categorization tool, and gave people a chance to reinvent their gender through illustration and digital distortion. All of the designed interactions were intentionally playful, participatory, and wearable as we paraded through design fairs in Manhattan and Brooklyn.
