Idea Emporium
Illustrated Design Activity Book & online class
(Designing Fairy, 2016-2020)

Design-based learning. My thesis work for my Master's degree produced an online class and an activity book and included an animated short I created while taking animation classes.  I had the gift of test-driving both with a focus group of adults and kids.

 

Welcome to The Idea Emporium, where imagination meets magic! Our mall is run by crows and fairies, and it's the perfect place for children to learn problem-solving skills and overcome creative blocks through designing.

 

My idea was an online world with an interactive activity book complete with animated shorts.

​

The work was out of the box for my school, Drexel University, and a bit of a sell, but eventually, my teachers became big fans and even included my proposal as an example for future Grad students in the educational department.
