Freedom by Design Director
-
Sep 2011 - Aug 2012
Freedom by Design is a program within the AIAS that aims to provide design/build work to low income and disabled people. This was the first year for the UIC AIAS Chapter. As a founding board member my goals and duties were to raise funds, increase membership, and ensure the chapter survives after my graduation. In collaboration with SAIC (School of the Art Institute Chicago), we worked on The Edgar Martinez Project. This was a volunteer project to renovate and rebuild the west wall of a house belonging to a Chicago Public School teacher who had been shot and paralyzed by a student. Show less
