Em+pow+er

Giselle Lewis-Archibald

My thesis, Design to Empower, consists of a series of workshops, a community-building
website that will be utilized as a distribution vehicle for the workshops, and the art and
text produced in the format of a zine. I designed this system to enable teenage girls
to visualize and express the values and skills they need in their present endeavors
and future prospects. The workshop series is comprised of five exercises that will
solicit text and images from participants.
