Whilst investigating interfaces for children for my Bachelor's Thesis, I found it very curious that one of the main challenges when designing for children is that... ... it is designed by adults. The design will almost inevitably include elements we THINK will work well on children, a lot of the time basing it on our own childhood. In a lot of content you can see elements designed for children that look fitting but do not match the real world they live in, therefore, at least initially, they are more than likely to not recognise the elements nor understand their meaning. For instance, a lot of modern streaming channels for children represent a TV with two antennas. Whilst it looks cuter than a modern representation of a TV, the children do not really know what it represents simply because it is an item that does not exist in their world. #designforchildren

K20 Design Educator, IB Teaching and Learning Coordinator, MYP/DP Design Faculty, Makerspace-Design Thinking-Entrepreneurship, Animation Filmmaker, Researcher
There is a lot of debate on when is it a good time/grade to introduce Design to school students. Well, it’s never too early! Y3 students brainstorming on communities in their Design classes within their Inquiry Unit, How We Organize Ourselves? It is interesting to see that they define communities beyond geographical locations such as music community, sports communities and food lovers. #ibpypdesign #designeducation

Licensed Professional Counselor, Conscious Empowerment Coach, and Owner at Soulflower Healing Arts Studio
In what ways are our training programs and education systems empowering professional educators to develop this culture in learning spaces? #consciousempowerment #empathy #collaboration #safementalspace #conscioustransformation
"When we talk about the studio pathway we are talking about two core ideas and locations. The first is the external, physical learning environment where meaning making takes place, and the second is the internal development of the mind where thinking is nurtured. A studio pathway is something we can relate to quite tangibly, reimagining classrooms as actual studio environments intended for acts of creation. A studio is a culturally responsive setting for learners to make meaning, explore, reflect and evolve their intellect and inner selves. The studio pathway is a practice of invoking creative processes that can lead to personal growth and change. When we are in studio practice with others, we are able to advance useful skills for democracy: collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and connection. When we are in studio practice by ourselves, we are in direct relationship with the art form or medium, working with our inner power and growing into new ways of thinking." (pgs 28-29, Do Your Lessons Love Your Students? Creative Education for Social Change. Routledge, 2024)

Pleased to learn that Online Design Awards had given the Best Technology award to adchitects' "AI Takes Over" project, on which I've written copy. The website's story follows an emoji-like unicorn as it chats with a robot about Artificial Intelligence in an engaging, light-hearted back-and-forth fashion. The aim was to deliver a message opposite to that of sensationalist, click-driven media and provide the user with AI facts that don't make you want to grieve over the future but rather become a tech-optimist. Watch the video starting from 1:10:18. #copywriting #copy #thanks

Award-Winning Arts Advocate | Speaker on New Arts Advocacy | Arts Management Adjunct Faculty | Strategic Advisor for Arts & Creative organizations |
Three tips how to position your arts programming in enticing ways: On the next “Gen Z Talk Arts,” we learn 20-somethings want to engage the arts with their forward-thinking perspectives. 1️⃣ Word of Mouth: Understand the power of authentic communication among Gen Z and how word of mouth remains their most trusted source for information and recommendations. 2️⃣ Investment in Experience: Gen Z prefer enriching experiences over material possessions, and how this investment in cultural and artistic experiences is a form of preventive enrichment. 3️⃣ Quality of Life: Gen Z prioritizes well-being and sustainability in both art and life, advocating for preventive measures to enhance the quality of life. Deepening understanding of Gen Z’s interest in the arts beyond on ‘Millenials/Gen Z Talk Arts’ series on YouTube @AngelaMelecaYT - check it out. #GenZTalksArts #PreventiveMeasures #ArtWorldInnovation #ExperienceInvestment

This has been my passion for so long—to create an art gallery in our city that not only recognizes past and present artists, hosts shows and collections, and offers programming and events for schools, families, seniors, and tourists, and so much more. A central, dedicated space—all its own—where all can explore, experience, and immerse in arts and culture. Welland is growing rapidly, but our arts infrastructure is not keeping pace. The current approach, with arts programming fragmented across various venues, fails to harness the full potential of our creative community. It's more than white walls. An art gallery is not just a cultural luxury—it is an economic necessity. It is an investment in our community that will bring substantial socio-economic benefits when done right. Baseball never partnered with hockey for shared space. Our city, rich in history and vibrant in community spirit, is growing faster than ever, attracting new residents and businesses, new opportunities. Yet, despite this rapid growth, we have failed to harness the transformative power of the arts. It's time to build a space where creativity thrives, and our community flourishes. Ignite the arts in Welland—support our gallery! Sign and share this petition, let's make this vision a reality. https://chng.it/qDRmdQVffK

Making your brand the only choice for your ideal customers. | Custom-Studio Co-Founder & Creative Director
The Process - Custom Studio x Avery Fairbank The Positioning. The Ideas. The Trials. There are some enjoyable hidden stages in a creative project, where so much exploration, collaboration and effort resides, before finally, ‘The Results’ are launched into the world. Like my old Maths teacher used to constantly say “Show your workings”. So here are some of those really (really) rough scamps and scribbles, injections of inspiration, out there ideas and some trials and (many) errors that helped form the final result.
