Role: Editor and Contributor
What happens when a group of critical-thinking designers face layoffs during a pandemic? Naturally, they create a global, interdisciplinary digital magazine that examines current events and reimagines our world!
Design Re-viewed was a passion project dreamt up during a challenging time to make sense of a new and unknown world. The first issue, 'Pandemic Disruption - Open Space' invited 11 voices from 4 countries and varying backgrounds, to interpret and depict how public spaces have or might change. The aim was to encourage thought-provoking conversations and challenge pre-existing notions of what a pandemic looks like, to focus on opportunities for creative expression, and to inspire hope in an uncertain future.
Alongside editing the submissions, I submitted my own contribution, 'When life gives you lemons' which investigated the role of the public realm in encouraging localised food production whilst simultaneously mobilising a post-pandemic unemployed population in Auckland, New Zealand
