Hope Manifesto
This manifesto was developed as a group assignment for a master’s course called Critical and Transformative Futures. The brief was to create a manifesto with the theme Transformative Futures of Hope in a Time of Polycrisis, positioning hope in the context of sustainability transformations as described in public and academic discourse, with the ultimate aim of provoking our audience and inspiring action.

Outcomes / Impact
Strengthened the lab’s digital presence across web, social, and video platforms.
Supported fundraising and donor stewardship through clear, compelling visual narratives.
Expanded public engagement with biomedical research through outreach events and educational content.
Process
Manifestos have a long history in the world of design, EXAMPLE We drew on tools and frameworks from the field of futures as well as popular culture references, history, and philosophy to explore the concept of hope and how people made sense of past crises.
Final Product
I developed stewardship collateral celebrating donor support, including an impact report postcard and a multi-panel end-of-year card, reinforcing long-term relationships.
