Facilitating Community in Virtual Spaces
Overview
Moving into the COVID-19 pandemic, I faced the challenge of fostering connection and engagement in a remote UX Design Immersive (UXDI) program. By collaborating with students to establish shared values, introducing small group dynamics for consistent collaboration, and adjusting communication tools to encourage spontaneity, I helped create a more cohesive and supportive learning environment. These efforts resulted in increased student engagement, stronger teamwork, and improved communication—outcomes that reflect my focus on empathy, adaptability, and collaborative problem-solving as a leader.
