A healing-centered clubhouse for K-12 changemakers
Treehouse: a place to discover, belong, and imagine worlds together
How can a storytelling, design, and social change education serve as a vessel for individual and collective wellbeing?
This was the inquiry guiding the development of Treehouse. I prototyped this mobile app as part of the Creative Reaction Lab & Adobe design challenge, inspired by Creative Reaction Lab’s work and mission of educating, training, and challenging Black and Latinx youth to become leaders designing healthy and racially equitable communities. Our design goal was to create a mobile app which helps mobilize youth leaders working toward equity.
I prototyped this mobile app through research, insights, design theory & principles, low-fidelity concepts, and high-fidelity designs. We were awarded as a finalist and to date, we’ve shared our prototype for feedback with educators, parents, community healers & leaders, the Design Justice Network, and the K12 Lab.

Treehouse
We exist for young people to step into their power as storytellers, designers, and community shapers for a better world. And to stand in our power, we must be in loving relationship with our selves and each other.
Treehouse is a place to discover, belong, and imagine worlds together. Think of it as a healing-centered version of Clubhouse for students, parents, educators, and community leaders to grow our collective consciousness, community, and freedom — together.
