Hi #PortfolioDay !

I'm a health&care advocacy designer and artist.

My current project is
@illmarks . I began utilizing body mapping art to log my symptoms, but then expanded the practice to include emotional, systemic, and interpersonal aspects of disability.

I most recently partnered with the University of Washington’s School of Nursing as part of a study on healthcare equity and community tools. I taught a virtual workshop to fellow disabled community members on using symptom mapping art to validate their bodily experiences, which was immensely rewarding.

I hope to expand how I can apply my creativity and help my communities, and would love to collaborate!

(The thing I most miss about my work from before I got more disabled and can no longer work full time is interpersonal collaboration, so I'm slowly trying to bring more collaborations back into my life.)

Vaccine hesitancy is complex, but, says author and academic Timothy Caulfield, study after study confirms that in the U.S. and Canada, political affiliation is one of the single strongest predictors of vaccination status. He writes for the Toronto Star about what can make a difference: Pre-bunking, debunking, teaching critical thinking and using creative science communication. "Perhaps what’s most important, though, is that we hold governments to account — with our voices and with our votes," he concludes.
