My Learning Experience

Research Lead and Process Facilitator for Inclusivity.
Workshop Design and Development.
This was the Design Management Final Project during Spring 2017,
it was 10 weeks long, individual project. The project began by gathering secondary research data from the local government bodies involved in relation to the existing water stress caused by the tourism industry in Savannah, GA. Then identifying the relevant stakeholders, preparing interview questions as per the varied field of stakeholders involved and lastly, conducting Primary research through In-person Interviews. Finally, the outcome of the project was a Collaboration Workshop where all the different stakeholders could share their perspectives and overcome the communication gap to address the water issues more closely by the Stakeholders Inclusive Collaborative (S.I.C) Workshop.
The project is graphically presented using 6-steps D.E.S.I.G.N Model process.
