Planning Dashboards
This low-tech speedy approach (created very simply and quickly on excel!) allows client meetings to be more dynamic and collaborative, having real-time calculations, supplementing to strategy and next step discussions. An alternative to Tableau, majority of companies have easy access to excel files. Dashboards were created during the programming and planning phases for projects ranging from hospitals to labs, campuses to offices.
Bonus: I geeked out on Excel visualization hacks, and trained over 150+ people across 14 offices at Perkins+Will on how to create these easy, visual, interactive dashboards.
Leadership Buy-In for a New Workplace
When working at Spencer Stuart, I was appointed to the Global Real Estate Task Force, an internal initiative lead by the CIO with Regional Directors, creating workplace guidelines which will affect 95% of employees by 2023. In addition to leading the change communications for the firm, I conduced a firmwide assessment to map out cultural implications of workplace design. In addition to the assessment, I directed and helped edit three videos via PremierePro and AfterEffects to tell the story of the need for change. The video to the left was played at the organization's leadership retreat to create organizational buy-in for a new global workplace strategy.
Technology Experience
Collaborating with BIG Architects, we helped design the technology experience for a museum in ShenZhen China. I collaborated with 2 Design Technologists, and an Interaction Designer (who also translated the entire final deliverable into Chinese) to create a narrative and experience of how to integrate 5G and other emerging technologies with the overall museum. We created three distinct Archetypes and mapped out the journey with in the museum. I was responsible for leading research, writing the overall narrative, and collaborating with the interaction designer with user journeys, and creating the vignettes for the "student" journey section.Â
Binhai China
Designing under Daniel Solomon's studio
As China continues to progress at a rapid rate, there is a need for a city plan that reflects their advancements. Because of the extremely high demand for housing, there currently is a plan to build as many single slab concrete housing in the fastest rate possible. The challenge of this project was to create a design that reflects environmental, economical and cultural values for Binhai China, from the individual apartment units to the overall urban fabric.
