System Design + design research
Many people in our country rely on soup kitchens to survive. Not only do soup kitchens provide physical sanctuary and nutritional sustenance, but they are also an opportunity for people to be given the emotional care and attention all humans deserve. But is this always happening well?
This project began simply as designing a coffee set, but quickly became much more when I decided to work with a local soup kitchen to improve their services. Using coffee as the starting point, I designed a conceptual system that all clients and volunteers to interact in more meaningful ways.
This was an individual project I completed during a studio semester. However, I could not have done it well without feedback from my professors and classmates!
