INITIATIVE
The Knowledge Share
A podcast-style series I built from scratch at Relativity.
Host · 2020–2022
A company-wide discussion series I created at Relativity connecting design and creative thinking to current events. Started as a UX team lunch-and-learn, I rebranded it, shifted to a podcast-style format, and expanded the audience to the full company after it was featured in the CHRO's weekly email. 9 episodes produced across technology, ethics, equity, and culture.
Original illustration. A skeleton key with Relativity's mark inlaid in the handle — unlocking curiosity was the whole point.
Episode 4: Queer Design. "Where do you think design could be today if society was more accepting from the start?"
