Feature: Guide to Vision Boarding
I created this personal vision boarding guide for an event I hosted during Black Girls Create’s Kuumba Kickback digital convention this year. The session, which I planned and facilitated was a community vision boarding event, but the resources created can be used to help in personal reflection and goal setting as well. Resources include a reflection guide and a Canva vision board template.
To see the vision boarding guide, other pieces of design, some writing on education and technology, and my most recent appearances in these areas, scroll below.
