Designing for Transition: Divorced Families: Communication & Childcare This wiki is set up to help me organize my thesis project.

Although most transitions require special care and innovative thinking I have chosen to focus on Co-parents, parents who do not live together yet share the care of their child, as a group to design for.

My thesis is advised by Jodi Forlizzi who is also researching Divorced Families at Carnegie Mellon University where I am a Design graduate student.

Many of my projects, both in the past as a fine artist, and now as a designer focus on challenges of the everyday, specifically those that are paradoxical and are often not part of the day to day cultural dialog.

thanks for taking a look - I welcome comments and suggestions.
