Prototype for the Planet
Creating a 2-day designathon to create innovative solutions for a real-world environmental challenge.
When I identified a gap between Boston's talented UX designers seeking meaningful work and climate nonprofits needing design expertise, an opportunity emerged. Partnering with Raissa Talehata from Climate Designers Boston, we created an event where designers could gain real-world experience while helping environmental organizations succeed. This case study explores how we built this mutually beneficial ecosystem, connecting professional development with climate action while strengthening our local design community.
