Deliverable
Frame Voices into Problem
Project Launch
Submission Required
Individually, you will connect with at least one ICE-affected community contact to collect personal narratives and empathy artifacts. Create a POV statement that centers the user’s needs, develop 3-5 How Might We questions, and build user persona profiles representing diverse experiences. Draft a simple problem tree or systems map showing how experiences relate to your quilt design decisions. After obtaining feedback from your contact, iteratively refine the POV, HMWs, personas, and problem map to better reflect user needs and context.

Student-facing instructions
Your task is to frame the voices of the ICE-affected community you've connected with into a clear problem statement. Start by reviewing the narratives and empathy artifacts you’ve collected. Use these to draft a POV statement that highlights user needs. Collaboratively develop 3-5 'How Might We' questions that address these needs. Build detailed user persona profiles and a problem tree or systems map to illustrate how these experiences influence your quilt design choices. Ensure feedback is sought from your community contact throughout the process.
