Emergent Design

Mapping

Profile

World-scale ethnography? It's happening here. This is design for complex world problems. Get involved!

I use maps to convey information and emotion about myself, others, and our experiences.

I am Carissa Carter. I am a design strategist pursuing a PhD in engineering - design at Stanford University.

Keep up with my day to day thoughts at awkwardly emergent.
