Volunteer work -the San Francisco health department's overdose response

Since 2021 I have been working with doctors at the San Francisco Department of Public Health to design campaigns for the department's overdose response and anti-stigma kits.

Our projects seek to de-stigmatize addiction and instead treat it as the chronic illness the medical field views it as. The goal is to encourage patients to seek assistance in harm reduction and medication intervention, and to help medical providers and staff be ready to receive these patients without stigma.

For this work, the doctors supplied me with design briefs, and we went through multiple design reviews with SFPD stakeholders. The winning designs will be printed and posted in clinics.

To allow the doctors to easily collaborate, we used a combination of Canva and Figma, with a mix of stock and custom illustrations.

Hack project: LinkedIn Audio

This was a 1-day hack project done with three designers and a PM. In our concept, a user encounters podcast files in the LinkedIn feed and is able to open them in “audio mode“. The user is them imagined to stay in audio mode with one audio post after another playing (much like a radio station) until the user opts back to the default read-and-view mode feed experience.

For the business, we saw this project as a fresh way to stay engaged with LinkedIn content (thinking especially of educational content). Adding this feature onto the existing social graph could solve the long-standing podcast discovery riddle.

For the user, we saw this as an opportunity to discover and consume career and educational content without having to add screen time.
