Co-founder of the Rethink Relief Design Workshop in 2011. Rethink Relief is dedicated to creating technologies for humanitarian relief that specifically address the gap between short-term relief and long-term sustainable development.
The workshop was co-organized in October 2011 by Industrial Design faculty at the Delft University of Technology and D-Lab of MIT. It brought together 26 people to explore the differences in thinking by relief organizations, development organizations, and designers. Groups worked throughout a week to create concepts and prototypes to address challenges in relief work. These addressed clean water availability, re-purposing of aid materials, transportation challenges, and first aid supply logistics.
