‘Takes Heart’ in the Parade of Hearts

As an artist and designer committed to driving impact, I created Take Heart for the Kansas City Parade of Hearts—an interactive public art piece celebrating the courage, creativity, and tenacity of women+ entrepreneurs. Sponsored by the Ewing Marion Kauffman Foundation, this innovative work invites the community to engage with hidden digital features, uncovering inspiring stories, women-owned businesses, and entrepreneurial resources. Through bold design and technology, I delivered a community experience that not only captivated but also empowered women and fostered connections to uplift the voices of purpose-driven leaders.
