HERO DESIGN COMPANY
As a teaching artist for ArtWorks’ Hero Design Company, I managed a team of young apprentices, guiding them through the design process, community engagement strategies, and project execution. Our mission was to empower children facing emotional, physical, or medical challenges by designing and crafting custom superhero capes celebrating their unique strengths.
Key Skills & Contributions:
Project Management: Oversaw timelines, delegated tasks, and ensured project milestones were met efficiently.
Instruction & Mentorship: Taught design thinking, problem-solving, and craftsmanship while fostering a collaborative learning environment.
Community Engagement: Led apprentices in interactive storytelling and direct outreach to create meaningful connections with children and families.
This experience reinforced my ability to manage creative teams, execute mission-driven projects, and use design as a tool for empowerment and social impact.
