CMU CREATE Lab, Hear Me Project

Hear Me was a grant-based project through Carnegie Mellon University’s CREATE Lab that amplified kids’ voices using media and technology. When I started there, we had a logo and a neglected website. As the only designer there, I was quickly tasked with coming up with fresh branding, creating all kinds of collateral within it, and communicating these new brand guidelines to the rest of the team.

I worked on everything from billboards, to temporary tattoos, to installation art, to training manuals. We also created a brand new website to appeal more to older kids. To the left is an installation that I worked on, where each kid’s story was recorded, so that you could listen to it while viewing their drawing. We created these “tin can phones” to listen to their audio.
