Micro/Macro OCADU x Design TO Design Exhibition
In participation of the course Design for Health at OCAD University, Toronto, Canada, students developed self-directed term projects examining the role design plays in defining the nuanced meaning of health in a global pandemic, measuring impact on an individual to global scale.
The projects address the concepts of flexibility, agility, inclusivity, and intersectionality, designing for an ever-changing "new normal."
