THE MISSION

«Girona 2030» was a workshop that invited the youth of the city of Girona to debate, co-design, and show to the world the Girona in which they wanted to live 10 years from now.

The workshop was fostered by Garage Stories (innovation lab) and l’Estació Espai Jove (Girona’s town hall).

The challenge:

Invite the youth of Girona to envision their city of the future
(year 2030)

Themes/points of view:
Mobility, Culture, Co-existence,
Environment, Sports and Health

Methodologies:

Design futures + Augmented reality

Who:

The youth of the city of Girona

Outcome:

The teams would artistically intervene on 6 city points.

They would use augmented reality to layer the city with their visions of how the landscape would be seen by the year 2030.
Like creating an Instagram filter.

The results were released as a public mobile app during the ‘Girona Mobile Week 2021’.

Also, the participants would co-design an online magazine.
The 6 articles would showcase stories happening in the year 2030.

VISUALS

Our main visual design inspiration was the 3D geometric renders.

We also introduced the cathedral of Girona as the main city icon.

This would merge with our geometry forms, establishing a dialogue between the history and the ‘new to come’.

We then designed an identity campaign that would transfer our 6 prospective themed visions of the future (Mobility, Culture, Co-existence, Environment, Sports, and Health) into 6 cartoon characters.

*We also used the power of the body email invitations to reach our future participants

EXTRA CONTENT

*Instagram carousel posts/stories

*Online Magazine

*Urban poster to mark the AR experience point

«Flors i Paraules»
NGO fundraising plan + site building, Barcelona-Nepal, 2021

Design Strategy Plan

THE MISSION

Who?

 

Bijeta Eco Community (BEC) is an educational NGO from Nepal. They work to change the reality of the children of  Sundarijal, (a rural area at 15 km from Kathmandu).

 

Sundarijal was one of the most devastated towns by the Kathmandu earthquake, back in 2015.

Today, most of the families live thanks to farmland labor. Yet, the payback doesn’t cover the families’ life necessities expenses.

The challenge:

 

In the previous years, the BEC had carried along thanks to the handwork of volunteers and their donations. Since the COVID-19 pandemic struck, they had experienced a big supply cut.

That’s when the BEC team came to me and asked to develop their new NGO strategy plan. 

They needed to increase their incomes to continue driving their humanitarian mission.

Our roadmap:

 

Binita (BEC’s manager in Barcelona) explained to me the story and insights of how the community worked. She right away put me in contact with their Nepal manager and some of the volunteers.

After collecting their insights, we ended up designing 2 plans:

· A fundraising strategy that would cover the NGO’s needs and open new opportunity paths to growth.

· A website that would highlight the BEC’s values and connect with future donors.

The outcome:

 

This is how Flors i Paraules was born.

Flors i Paraules

The online solidarity initiative that tells the story of Bijeta and raises funds to keep the community alive!

PATHWAYS
OF ACTION

Designing 3 ways to contribute with the BEC:

· Donations
· Children Sponsorship
· Volunteering

1) DONATIONS.

«Showcasing the outcome of your donations.»

How could we make people willing to contribute?
It was important to translate their donations into physical results

*We designed a plan that would transform the needs of the BEC into closed donation packages.

Prospective donors could choose which package to purchase or even customize their own one.

2) CHILDREN SPONSORSHIP.

How could we make a prospective donor keep track of our community?

By inviting him/her to accompany the life of one of our children: becoming their sponsor.

First and foremost it was important that our kids were presented to the world.
Which are their dreams? What do they love to do the most?

*We designed the BEC children’s short testimonials panel («Get to Know Us!»).
A straightforward way to connect our prospective sponsors with the BEC children stories, and give a face, name, and a statement to every single child in need.

«We are all human beings and we all share dreams.»

Then, we would finally invite our future sponsor to change the life of one of our kids by contributing with a monthly closed fee

The fee would cover the education, food, and material supply of the children and his/her family. It would also include monthly correspondence between the child and the sponsor.

3) VOLUNTEERING.

Volunteering had been the main economical font for the BEC in the past years.
Therefore, it was important that we dedicated a site chapter to it.

*We designed a page that would highlight some of our past volunteer testimonials to drive the attention of the prospective volunteers. 

We’d also add a “Frequently Asked Questions” section and a quick formulary to provide an easier submission process.

 

CALL
TO ACTION

Call to Action buttons.

Value messages that will drive our customer’s attention into taking a REAL ACTION.

*In our case, converting the «click» into a:
donation, contact filling form, newsletter submission, etc.

Call to Action testimonials.

Sponsors, donors and volunteer testimonials.

First person testimonials that bring real references of the outcome of our mission, from a humanitarian approach.

*In our case, inviting our customers to connect with our testimonial stories and become an active player in our journey.

THE OPEN CALL

We designed a campaign that would reach up to 300 participants from Boston and Barcelona cities.

1) Explainer video
to be posted and shared through social media
(IG, TW, LI)

2) Brief flyer to be shared through app messages (WhatsApp, LinkedIn) or attach to email

3) Newsletters and body emails
