My name is Ayisha Jackson. I was born in Guyana, South America, raised in the Caribbean-American enclaves of Brooklyn and Queens, New York, and now navigate the cultures that sit in-between and beyond.
The culmination of my upbringing, education and lived experiences have brought forth a passion for creative problem solving which I am fortunate to exercise in training and profession
With an emphasis on social and environmental justice, I engage in hardware and materials design for developing sustainable solutions that center globally disenfranchised communities.
I aspire for my designing to be an inclusive medium to promote impactful utility, speculative thoughtfulness, and restorative co-creation amongst those often left out of the design process. I hope you enjoy the ways this is reflected in my portfolio of process and work.
In my spare time, I love sharpening my photography and editing skills, knitting giant wool blankets, and making delicious recipes for my friends and family.
Currently: NYC | Education: Stanford M.S. Design Impact, Brown Sc.B. Materials Engineering
