As an experienced architectural, interior, and graphic designer in St. Louis, Kelsey Jordan’s visions for the future of architecture strongly involve embedded ideologies on designing for equity in education and diversity in the built environment. Through research and practice she has been able to understand how health and wellness can be implemented to effect positive change within communities that face multifaceted issues like obesity, food deserts, poverty, educational attainment, and systemic racism in educational environments. Her first pragmatic approach to wellness in education was due to the dynamics between poverty, food deserts, obesity, and poor graduation rates plaguing Mississippi - the worst of any state at the time. Through interdisciplinary research, she designed a curriculum and educational facility in Mississippi which incorporated agriculture curriculum, which yielded enough produce to combat food scarcity for these students and their families, along with passive, evidence-based design strategies associated with higher graduation rates and mentally and physically healthier lifestyles. Due to the educational facility’s design excellence, the community can confront multifaceted issues through design. Currently as an architectural designer, Jordan utilizes her passion for design equity to create stimulating future-focused learning environments. She seeks to continuously advocate for design in terms of wellness, equity, diversity & inclusion, and finds joy in situations where she can participate as an advocate for clients and community. Serving as chair for and on various organizations, she works directly with underrepresented students to teach life skills through architecture to help drive future equality and stability. Recently she has been featured on Beyond the Built Environment as a diverse designer representing diverse designers in Missouri.

Somos MVP Lufa: María, Vega y Paula. Tres jóvenes creadoras de 11 años, unidas por una idea sencilla pero poderosa: demostrar que la tecnología también puede sembrar cambios reales.

A través de nuestro proyecto hemos combinado sostenibilidad, innovación y educación ambiental para promover el uso de la lufa como alternativa ecológica a los estropajos plásticos, desarrollando una aplicación móvil y creando iniciativas de divulgación en colegios, ferias, asociaciones y espacios educativos.

Nuestra participación en Technovation Girls nos permitió transformar una preocupación cotidiana en un proyecto tecnológico con impacto social real, creando además una comunidad de “luferos” comprometidos con hábitos más sostenibles.

Aunque nuestro proyecto ha llegado hasta la final mundial de Technovation Girls y ha sido reconocido en los Premios GenIA, nuestro mejor premio sigue siendo otro: ver cómo cada vez más personas se suman a esta pequeña revolución verde y cómo nuestra MVP —la lufa— va desterrando poco a poco a los estropajos sintéticos de las cocinas.

Porque las grandes soluciones no siempre empiezan con grandes recursos.A veces empiezan con curiosidad, trabajo en equipo… y una semilla.
