Reflecting on Legal Design developments

In this meetup we will focus on our circle of influence and what concrete actions we can take in changing the legal sector.

In this moment of reflection, we will bring in voices from the legal design world, and specifically from the Dutch Legal Design Lab Event on April 17th, where many legal design enthusiasts will be coming together to work towards a shared vision. If you will be at the event, join us to share your own takeaways from it; and if you can't make it, this meetup is the perfect opportunity to make sure you are updated on the current scene in the legal design world!

(5 min) 1-1 connections

I started Visual Contracts to bring together my interests, curiosity, perseverance and skills in visual thinking, UX Design, Service Design, innovation, entrepreneurship and creating equal opportunties for all. Discovering how much more I like legal than I have ever thought before I entered this field as a designer,

I believe many more people can make the shift in perceiving law as a way to substantiate, instead of perceiving it as a "necessary evil" if we "just" design a different medium for it.

As the founder of Visual Contracts I'm curious about why other members sign up, what they would like to learn and how we could together further develop and apply the Legal Design Thinking approach.

I am a transition designer tackling complex problems through systems thinking,  value-centricity, and speculation. I research through design and make sense of the world through visualizations. Telling nuanced stories in creative mediums, I aim to facilitate the co-designing of alternatives. 

What brought me here is my deep frustration with the existing workings of the world. Shifting towards a new, more sustainable paradigm, every single aspect of society needs transformation. However, given its pivotal role in steering the transformation, legal system has a greater urgency for change; which is why I got involved with Visual Contracts.

Having experience in designing for the international development and inclusion of marginalized groups, I am currently giving value-centered design workshops and providing services in strategy, co-creation, visual storytelling, and design research.
