Design the new Business | Documentary that explores the relationship between design and business and how they are affecting each other

Overview

I was part of the filmmaking team that created one of Forbes Magazine's “Must-See Design Documentaries You Don’t Want To Miss” (2016). We were a team of designers who were novice filmmakers with a limited budget. We used our skills and creative thinking to tackle the project like a design challenge. My responsibilities included:

  • Conducting research and storyboarding the film

  • Creating interview guides, conducting expert interviews, and coding transcripts to uncover themes for film editing team

  • Promoting the project through website and blog posts using WordPress

  • Leading presentations and workshops for academics and professionals in Philadelphia, Boston and NYC
