The Live Well Collaborative is a 501(c)(6) non-profit organization comprised of multidisciplinary University of Cincinnati faculty and students that innovate design solutions for real world problems. With user at the heart of their solutions, Live Well co-creates uniquely designed solutions for all users.
My contributions came on the Cincinnati Children's Hospital team where I used design research techniques to develop strategies to improve the Childhood Cancer Survivor Experience and the Publicity & Process team dedicated to the betterment of internal and external promotion and outreach.

The Live Well model utilizes rapid cycle integrated product development, emphasizing collaboration across multiple disciplines and stakeholders. In practice, this means uniting design, engineering, business, and other key perspectives to ensure efficient and cost-effective outcomes. Live Well projects are split into three different phases, with a Lead-in at the beginning and Next Steps at the end of the semester.
To streamline information and improve the first impression of potential clients and co-ops, the LiveWell website was updated to further exemplify brand standards and to state its goals and methods in a succinct and modern way. Duplicated and irrelevant information was removed and a clarified information hierarchy was established to improve the website's storytelling
Responsiblilities for the Publicity & Process involved content creation surrounding work events and process milestones, team and individual headshots, and documentary photography of workshops, report outs, etc. (not pictured for confidentiality reasons).
