The Process

The development of Woven began with extensive research into diaspora identity, cultural erosion, language loss, and intergenerational experiences within the United States. From there, the project evolved through iterative experimentation in editorial design, storytelling systems, mapping, branding, and data visualization to explore how design could translate personal cultural experiences into connected and shareable narratives.

The Solution

Through editorial design, participatory storytelling, and data-driven campaigns, the project explores how design can preserve cultural memory, visualize hybrid identity, and foster belonging across generations.

Reflection

Woven to me became a personal reflection on identity, memory, and belonging within diaspora experiences. Through the process, I realized how powerful storytelling and design can be in preserving culture, creating empathy, and helping people feel seen within the complexity of their hybrid identities.
