Context
Amplifying progressive political activism with Haight Brand
18 Coffees is a strategy and innovation consultancy with community partners who are collaborators and co-conspirators in the work of helping mission-driven companies get a foothold in the future. Haight Brand (representing Chance the Rapper) partnered with 18 Coffees to host a one-day workshop with community partners to ideate on systems to support progressive political activism. I scoped the challenge, developed materials, and facilitated the workshop.
Project scoping + workshop development
Bringing together diverse perspectives to develop ideas
The community partners each brought unique expertise—marketing to strategy and politics—but limited experience in design methods. My goal was to lead people through the design challenge and develop potential ideas to implement.
