  Centering on recycling and promoting sustainable consumption, my efforts are directed towards collaborating with waste pickers and their children in order to carry out fundamental research related to waste management. I am in the process of devising innovative tools and playful methodologies to enhance the educational journey of these children while also tackling more extensive issues such as climate change, poverty, gender equality, nutrition, and environmentally friendly livelihoods. Additionally, I am engaged in partnering with waste pickers to explore strategies for leveraging design and waste materials to uplift their livelihoods. This project is supported by the Maharam fellowship, generously funded by New York-based textile company Maharam. This program supports selected RISD students in creating summer internships across the globe, focused on advancing social justice and/or sustainability. Show less
