The design lab - ITP
Founder, Mentor and Designer

As the founder of 'the design lab' during my ITP/NYU Residency, I established a transformative student-run creative hub that continues to thrive today—creating an enduring ecosystem where ITP/NYU students access design mentorship, develop technical skills, and collaborate in an innovative space that has become a cornerstone of the university's design community. While establishing the lab operations, I created a small visual tool kit, Including: a logotype, color pallete and applications.
