For our client pitch, we created a full-scale immersive simulation of the entire resilience system in action. The experience began in an auditorium, where the presentation combined visuals, audio, and a simulated storm environment to establish the reality of a disaster scenario. Guests were then guided outside through a series of stations that moved them through the full journey, from disaster impact to response and into community recovery.
I had the honor of leading a team of 20 students through research, design, and development over a 10-week process. My role focused on fostering a creative and collaborative environment while ensuring the team remained organized, timely, and professional throughout. I also led presentations and managed all communication with the client, building a strong working relationship through open dialogue, clear feedback channels, and consistent professionalism.

AMERICAN RED CROSS x sCADSERVE
Role: Project Lead
We developed a visual system inspired by local community art, applied across educational flyers, billboards, and banners. With a comprehensive strategy document outlining the full decentralized resilience network, the American Red Cross had access to hub locations, local partners, community leader resources, and a breakdown of Chatham County’s needs, providing a clear, actionable roadmap for implementation.
The ChallengeThe TruthWork with the American Red Cross to design an actionable solution for disaster response in Chatham County, where geography and limited accessibility make it difficult for a centralized hub to effectively serve all residents.
In a crisis, neighbors are the first and most trusted line of support.
The IdeaA decentralized resilience network that connects the American Red Cross directly to neighborhoods, building community-led preparedness supported by targeted emergency aid.
