Francesca Rodriguez Sawaya
I'm a designer and educator, who uses her skills as a technologist and storyteller to create dialogues around topics such as culture, identity and community, either through crafting compelling narratives about socio cultural realities or developing projects that could turn into tools for empowerment. I'm interested in thinking about how to create products and experiences that connect the digital and physical spaces around us, in harmony, as a way of bringing a more human approach to our digital world. I have a Masters degree in the Interactive Telecommunications Program from NYU and I’ve been conducting workshops for the last year in the US and India. I currently work as a Communication Designer for the Motwani Jadeja Foundation and I’m a Fellow Researcher on Tech and Textiles at the Brooklyn Fashion and Design Accelerator, part of Pratt Institute.
