- A challenge anyone can follow
- Solo build
- Research, design, writing and web
Group project · with Ground3D
Infrastructure Walking Tour of The Flats
East Flatbush has farmers markets, cooling centers, green space and historic sites — but no single map showing them. I mapped infrastructure points on Felt and wrote the annotations so residents can take a self-guided tour from their phone.
