Christina is investigating the idea of technology as abundance. She’s using photography, GIFs, and set design to make staged scenes that explore how technology can create growth, build community, and change barriers to entry — and she’s sharing her journey with fellow creatives via Instagram, TikTok, and more. Her long-term goal is to run a full-service photography studio and multidisciplinary practice that merges physical and virtual elements in digital images, and she looks forward to collaborating with 3D artists, set designers, and motion designers.

In a time when people are increasingly reliant on technology, Maddy is exploring the use of interaction design to promote mindfulness in daily life. She’s partnering with brands to design experiences that help people use tech as a tool rather than a crutch, and she’s sharing her designs, processes, findings, and her own day-to-day life through photos, videos, articles, and interactive challenges. In the future, she hopes to have a career as a freelance designer. She’d like to work for innovative brands, create designs that reach millions of people, and be a leader in the design community.
PAST PROJECT

The Commune team partners with some of the world's leading teachers across mindfulness, health, sustainability, and civic engagement to create and host video courses for their members.
