Designing_Me

an opportunity to reinvent yourself

It is during these times of unexpected change and when our world is turned upside down, that we have the opportunity to truly and fully align with the best version of ourselves and with what we’re truly here to do. How exciting it is to get the opportunity to re-emerge anew and in a more precise version of who we are!

I’m here with both my experience as a designer, and mentor of visualizations, award winning visions and a survivor again and again of some of life’s hardest hits to be your muse.

*Map of the Face : Literary Portrait Day Retreat

A Reflective and Collective Participatory Project

In our selfie culture, what does it really mean to have a face? How do we show up? For ourselves and for each other? Join writer Nina Hart and designer/artist Martha Skinner to create a literary portrait through drawing and words, moving inward from self to collective connection. The end product will be an art piece that you’ll get to take home – and yet the process is the map that leads down the road to connection. The retreat will take place on Sunday, October 27 from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m. in Marshall, N.C. Sign up quickly it will fill up: LINK

What is Asheville?
 
 

What is Asheville?

 

Experience the city as a game, map it in a life-size gameboard.

“What is Asheville?” is a week of play and experimentation in the streets of Asheville, North Carolina. Using Cell phones, GPS, text messaging and mission-driven exploration, middle schoolers from various neighborhoods of Asheville engaged their city as Living Game collecting obstacles and opportunities. Their findings will be compiled daily into a Living Gameboard, an interactive collective journal where they dynamically organized and reorganized their collected information through the compositions of words, sound, gestures and imagery as a way to understand their city holistically. This will lead to visions by our youth for our city, and a celebration on Earth Day! LINK for more information
