The More Data, the Less Meaning
Moving from lived experience to system-level insight, Courtney uses personal field research and applied design work to explore how meaning is lost as data scales — and what designers can do to preserve it. From food-insecurity research to clinical-trial diversity, she reframes design’s role in keeping context alive, ending with actionable principles.
