Charlotte Kennedy

My goals are to continue to be welcoming, friendly and hardworking. As well, I want to continue to broaden and deepen my design skillset. I wish to be inclusive and support all people. I also want to design sustainable and ethical products and services. A longer-term goal is to participate in business and strategic decision-making as part of my professional responsibilities.
