Product Designer @ Creative Resilient Youth:

A digital community for marginalized youth to heal through creativity






OVERVIEW

Creative Resilient Youth (CRY) is a Philly-based art and leadership organization dedicated to nurturing creativity and wellbeing, and empowering young voices. Over the past few years, CRY has facilitated youth-led events, including art workshops, study groups to foster meaningful community building among youths.

This project is a 0 -> 1 mobile-first app to support CRY’s mission to keep youths engagement and expand their impact. I lead the design of a digital community to help marginalized youth in Philadelphia foster creativity, build resilience and connect. 


OUTCOMES

As the only designer on the team of 15+ people, I co-led research of exploring the use case of AI in creative art for youth well-being, drive end-to-end design and product strategy, delivered the design from 0 to 1.

The MVP is now in development. See this work featured in media.
