I am proficient in the Adobe Suite for digital design representation and confident in my ability to communicate ideas through sketching, with a knack for presenting to clients. Seeking work experience in a design studio to bring my positive, proactive attitude and diverse digital and practical skills, which I'm eager to put into play...Contact me!leemingamara@gmail.com

Little Citizens is an interactive resource designed to engage children in democracy, civic responsibility, and decision-making. Rooted in research on school councils and participatory learning, it empowers young people with collaboration, critical thinking, and leadership skills. I developed prompt cards and interactive exercises to facilitate discussions in schools, conducting user research with teachers and students to refine the resource. To ensure accessibility for KS2 students (ages 6–10), I created a play-based learning framework and iterated on prototypes based on real-world testing and educator feedback. I also explored distribution avenues, including printable resources for Twinkl and physical game sets for schools. Little Citizens bridges the gap between young learners and meaningful civic engagement, making democracy more approachable, actionable, and fun.
