projects and workshops
Our work aims to create community through design. We embrace collaboration, play, experimentation and discovery. With that, we use and encourage our collaborators to use FLOSS (Free, Libre, Open Source Software) tools to democratize design. The classroom is often used as a site to explore these topics and projects.
Jagged Teeth, An Open-Source Brand
Work in progress
A brand for all those who grew up or currently live without dental care. Inspired by Aeon Magazine’s article, “Poor Teeth”, and my less-than-exquisite smile. If you know, you know, but the article is helpful in illuminating the topic from a sociological perspective. Brand assets are supplied to anyone who wants to be part of the brand “tribe.”
