My name is Kara Pecknold and this space hosts a plethora of ideas and opinions about the role of design for social, cultural and economic impact — here, there and everywhere.
I have a graduate degree from Emily Carr University of Art + Design and my research investigated how a designer could adapt his or her approach when working with the underserved to encourage both dialogue and collaboration in the design process when language or technology were not shared.
It also considered the presence and absence of the designer during the process, and was framed around the ideas of governance, in which people are given access to spaces where they can share ideas, help each other and collaboratively build a new body of common knowledge (Thank you, Ezio Manzini). If you would like to see/read more, here are the finer details.
Nowadays, I work as a Senior Design Researcher at frog.
Publications:
Case study in IDEO's Human-Centered Design Toolkit.
Dialogue Through Design: Visual Communication Across the Cultural Divide.

Kara, when do you leave? This trip sounds amazing the more I hear about it. Is there anything that non-working, poor (after buying tickets to europe), college students such as myself could aid your journey?
I appreciate all forms of support! And I understand the feeling of being less financially sound as well.
One of the things I want to get a hold of are some cool notebooks to take with me for people to use in the process of storytelling (like a mini-Moleskine). If you know where to get a hold of those, I'd gladly take some along with me.
But otherwise, thoughts and prayers are always welcomed.
