University of St Andrews | May 2020 - August 2020

 

Summary: This research paper examined the choice architecture of online grocery stores in the United Kingdom which may promote or restrict purchases of ethically certified products in order to minimize the gap between ethical attitudes and ethical consumption behaviour. This research suggests that manipulating the choice architecture of online grocery stores may close the attitude- behaviour gap by facilitating ethical purchase behaviour from consumers with existing ethical attitudes. In examining seven online grocery stores in the United Kingdom, the research found that the majority of choice architecture does not align with the principles of nudging to promote the purchase of ethically certified goods. As such, recommendations are made to improve the choice architecture in order to encourage ethical consumption behaviour, minimizing the attitude- behaviour gap.

Summary: This four part project required groups of students to 1) provide background on the company, 2) identify the company’s IB and marketing strategy, 3) Identify the company’s flaws, issues and pitfalls, 4) present solutions/ recommendations. My group analysed Oatly, the Swedish oat product manufacturer, finding their mission to be incompatible with their current business plan.

Change Finance (Senior Capstone)

Parsons, The New School for Design | September 2018 - May 2019

 

Summary: Change aims to set young women on a path to independence by improving financial literacy, during the transition from living with parents to university and beyond. Change is a platform built on the idea of easily accessible, digestible information—educating our audience through sourcing relevant content, useful tools and the power of female community. Change taps into the dialogue of female empowerment, breaking through the stigma, to overcome the male dominated field of finance. In creating Change, I was challenged to overcome that dynamic around women and money. Additionally, in my early testing, I was made aware issues around credibility and inclusivity, struggling--as one individual--with how to make a platform relevant to all young women. I modeled Change after my personal experiences, under the principle that the content must be authentic to me in order for it to be trustworthy and useful for others.
