Pace project

We arrived at Pace Univeristy in January 2018 to a web design class.

I was with other participants of the AHRC center and we team up with Pace University students in order to create a website for each one of us.

The website took us the whole semester to make. We started by getting to know each other my partner and I, then we did a brainstroming, putting together ideas of what we wanted to write, showcase and present here. We came up with many ideas and had to choose which one worked the best.

To me this website is an opportunity to show my art as well as express myself to other.

thanks to this platform I will be able to promote my creativity and ideas.

I liked coming to Pace and working on this project with my partner, we had a lot of fun and we are really pleased with the final product.

My partner was an abroad student from France studying at Pace. We were both really shy at first but after we got to knew each other it was better and we got along very well. The ice breaker was the brainstorming session. We figure out that we liked the same things like Comics, Space and Drawing! After that everything went smoothly.

We learn a lot from each other a lot and we really liked working together on this project!

AHRC center

The idea and initiative of this web-design project came from the partnerships with Pace University, Professor Lawler and the AHRC NYC.

The class was a web design for non profit organization and the goal was to create a website for each one of the AHRC participants. We were supported and helped by the program staff who knows each partipants very well. Each Pace students was also introduced on the topics of disabilities rights and supports.

I start going to the AHRC center in June 2016. I live around 30 minutes from the center and I go there everyday from monday to friday. The AHRC propose many activities such as sport exercises or Yoga, group painting sessions, Home movies cinema. Sometimes we got visits museums or go to the library.

We also went to the senior center and worked there for a day. We helped packing breads and talked with the residents.

I like going there and meet new people every week.
