Project Overview:
The Hult Prize competition challenges young entrepreneurs to develop innovative solutions to the planet's most pressing issues through social entrepreneurship. With Me&We, we aim to make a significant impact on global mental health and education, driving positive change for future generations.
My Role:
As a researcher, designer, and illustrator, I played a pivotal role in developing Me&We's innovative ecosystem of interactive learning experiences, focusing on empowering self-identity and promoting mental well-being among children globally. Additionally, I contributed to branding for printables, ensuring a cohesive visual identity throughout the project.
Illustrations:
Me&We is an ecosystem of interactive learning experiences that empowers self-identity & lowers barriers to mental well-being among children globally. Functioning on a Buy One Gift One model, Me&We is targeted towards parents in the US & Canada for their children aged 5-12, enabling them to buy the products and gift the same to 100s more in underserved schools in India, Nepal, and the Philippines. Me&We is committed to fostering emotional intelligence, self-awareness, and resilience in young minds, helping them navigate the complexities of growing up in a rapidly changing world. By bridging the gap between privileged and underserved communities, Me&We ensures that every child, regardless of their socio-economic background, has access to tools that promote mental well-being and personal growth.
SCAD Hult Competition: Silver Award
Our team won the Silver Award at the SCAD Hult Prize screening, a fantastic platform that brought together student projects from diverse backgrounds. It was truly exhilarating to witness the spectrum of innovation and design on display, showcasing the power of collective creativity in addressing global challenges.
Moving forward, we're incredibly excited to continue our work with Me&We, advancing towards our shared goal of lifelong mental well-being. By focusing on early intervention, we're not only laying the groundwork for children's well-being but also addressing critical issues that extend into adulthood, such as unemployment, crime, and suicide. Together, we're committed to making a lasting impact on individuals and communities worldwide.
