About the project

Working with Shelby Zink, we wrote complimentary poems to reflect the truth about inclusive design in today's technology and systems. In my poem, I used psuedocode to convey the "deploy or die" software culture where inclusive and equitable design are afterthoughts to that of the business agenda, which perpetuates racism and oppression through technology.

For this project, I also created a simple web page to bridge Shelby and mine's poems interactively.
