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.

I wanted to take your course this summer but it conflicts with another one of my core courses. Will you be offering this course again in another term?
I read your bio on the EC website. It is refreshing to see that you have an English lit degree! I am really impressed with your work and your blog. I am currently an undergraduate student at UBC studying Philosophy and European lit. I enrolled in the program because I am fascinated by design and hope to be involved in communicating public design sometimes in my future. I really believe, that design can be used to "serve the other 90%."
Thanks for your note. I can't say if it will be offered in a future term at this point but if all goes well, we certainly hope so!
All the best in your studies and aspirations.
