Hi, I’m Elisa (rhymes with 🍕)





THE CHALLENGE
A group of interesting individual projects that could only deliver minimal impact solo. The professors didn’t know how to organize a web-based group project and we weren’t sure we could do it.
THE SOLUTION
A collectively built website with an innovative design system to bridge individual creativity and cohesion.

THE IMPACT
PROVED COLLECTIVE POWER, BROKE THE GRADING SYSTEM“Never before have we had a class of information design work this way... we don’t know how to grade it.”
