What do I mean by possibilities?
Possibilities are conditions that allow a desired outcome to happen. Oftentimes, invisible and visible structures of this world prevent people to have the conditions that would allow them to thrive socially, economically, and personally, and in consequence, have a dignified life. To create better realities for all, we need to build the conditions first, and together.
How do I create possibilities?
I use human-centered design, systems thinking and a participatory approaches to identify and understand the conditions people and their communities require to thrive. Using participatory and co-design methods, we'll build those conditions into reality.
What can I bring to your team?
Through my training, experience, and amazing people I have learned from, I have specialized in design-led research, community building, facilitation and collaboration, visual design, and project management.
Who Am I?
I’m Mariana, a design researcher, community builder, and educator who uses design to make this world a better place for everyone.
What kind of possibilities I have created?
I have created possibilities with participatory democracy practitioners, Guatemalan artisans, a food sector organization, and Hispanic immigrants in the US. Visit my work to learn more about them.
