The goal of these Coffee Chats will be to show the different paths and careers that exist in the field of international relations. Each chat will feature a different guest who will share their experience and advice for people who are interested in a particular career path. June's Coffee Chat is open to both members and non-members.
This month's guest is Triss Yapp. Triss (she/her) is a Multidisciplinary Designer with a deep focus on a human-centered approach to accessibility and co-design in social justice and on ensuring that design solutions are always with the environment in mind. She specializes in graphics and typographical layout, digital media, and documentary film. Triss has supported NGOs and INGos such as the Peacemakers Network, Religions for Peace, Global Network of Women Peacebuilders, Women, Peace and Security – Canada, and UN institutions such as the Office of Genocide and UNAOC, focusing on graphics and multimedia communications to amplify campaign reach. A graduate of George Mason University with a Bachelor of Arts in Graphic Design and Design Thinking, Triss leverages her academic foundation and partnerships to integrate design thinking practices into every project. Her passion for storytelling is rooted in active listening – believing that the best solutions come from stories of understanding others' unique experiences and perspectives. Through collaboration, Triss strives to push the boundaries of design, with a mission to build a more introspective, inclusive, and innovative future.
A Zoom invite will be sent out the day before the event.
