Speaker Information

The Health Communication Design Studio (HCDS) at Washington University in St. Louis aims to address the disproportionate effects of health disparities in underserved minority populations in St. Louis through the creation of effective, audience-led strategic design solutions. To achieve this, the studio works closely with community members and University partners such as the Health Communication Research Lab (HCRL) to investigate health challenges, develop appropriate communication design responses and evaluate their effectiveness. 

In 2022, two HCDS projects were recipients of the annual GDUSA Health+Wellness Design Awards recognizing excellence in graphic design work that contributes to overall health, wellbeing, and safety during the time of Covid-19. The award-winning studio brings together a skilled team of faculty, staff, and students with experience in co-creation approaches, research methodologies, community-engaged practice, graphic design, illustration and UX/UI design.
