Grace Monaghan

A curious human-centered designer using visual communication and design research to tell human stories. My practice is process-led and empathetic, guided by both the psychology of the individual and the value of community. Often working on projects with a social cause, my passion lies in creating meaningful experiences for all.

Connect

Connect is a workshop tool that facilitates meaningful discussions about personal relationships. Using the visual aids and prompt cards, people are invited to tell their stories, share their perspectives and spend time with the people that matter to them. The toolkit hopes to aid conversations surrounding complex and emotional subjects by providing a framework for relationship articulation and visualisation.

Reflections from a pandemic

The Covid-19 pandemic has created an unprecedented shift in our lives over the past two years. While we hear the effects of the pandemic on mainstream news outlets daily, this is often through a global lens.

This publication hopes to share the stories, fears and experiences of the individual. It uses ethnographic practices to document, visualise and contextualise the personal narratives of my loved ones. In doing so, it recognises the individuality in human experience.

Superarts Academy

Superarts Academy of Performing Arts, founded in 1962 by Irene Hayes BEM, is a not-for-profit organisation based in Southwark, offering dance and performing arts classes and life skills, for those aged 3-18 years. Using ethnographic research and service design tools to inform the re-designed branding, the new vision for the academy honours the community that is integral to their identity.
