Sexual & Reproductive Futures Pilot Study
(2022)
Context: Early-stage pilot exploring how speculative design and co-design methods could be applied to questions of sexual and reproductive futures.
The week long pilot test was hosted at Hayes Hall in the Department of Design at The Ohio State University.
Role: Led co-design workshops, tested generative tools, and synthesized findings into early frameworks that informed later thesis research.
Outcome/Impact: Validated the potential of speculative co-design in sensitive domains and set the foundation for Imagining Together: Sexual and Reproductive Futures.

Participants were provided craft materials and a “what-if” prompt to create their artifacts from the future. After creating an object they were asked to tag it with a brief description including where the object was found and what it was used for.
