Overview

Studied design, and legal design theory as part of a small group of seven Master’s students. Learned to apply design methodologies in projects
aiming to improve stakeholder access to valuable information and opportunities in their environment. Engaged in field research and specifically carried out individual interviews, focus groups and small surveys. Successfully completed two group projects and presented final prototypes to real-world clients.

First Project

• Collaboratively created a toolkit for effective organization of University Community Building activities, so that the latter are more accessible and appealing to students.
• Got familiarized with tools like 'Canva'; the latter was used to create and edit a small video aimed at guiding the users of the toolkit.

Second project

• Created a Canvas offering an overview of the key elements necessitating consideration when practitioners set out to create Legal Education Clinics.
• The Canvas, accompanied by a short explanation of its goal and contents is published on 'justiceadda.com'.

Third project

• Participated in the collaborative writing of an academic article titled 'What does teaching and learning Legal Design offer for building experiential and inclusive law and technology education?'.
