About

As a critical designer, I invite people to pause and reflect on social and mental health themes, and to engage in meaningful conversations about them together. I do this by creating clear, colorful designs that come to life both graphically and spatially. 

The 'Troostkar’ supports children aged 8 to 12 in talking about grief and loss. The cart acts as a conversation starter and is designed to help children express their emotions and share stories about a loved one they have lost, regardless of when the loss occured. Whether a child prefers to talk, write, or draw, the 'Troostkar' provides different ways to share their story. The goal is to make every child feel heard.
