​How can the experience of services in low-income communities be shifted to make them more accessible and affordable?

Service Design

boxcart

boxcart's main objective is to address inequitable development by using one nationwide wicked problem to solve another: excess food to solve food access/insecurity. It seeks to do this by combining services into a hub of mobile food trucks that would deliver affordable fresh food to meet community needs.

 

boxcart exists to create upward mobility by employing the residents of the under-resourced communities it serves. Through in-depth job/skills training, leadership roles and other opportunities, boxcart aims to be a launchpad for underserved populations to gain steady work experience and advance their careers beyond this project. 

I was invited to present this project at the City of Gainesville's Bloomberg Mayors Challenge Public Workshop. View the presentation here and the entire project proposal here.

Outcomes

I was invited to present this project at the City of Gainesville's Bloomberg Mayors Challenge Public Workshop, which explores our city’s most urgent problems and practices innovation methods for problem solving. At the meeting, I had conversations with city representatives about how giant, seemingly unsurmountable issues such as financial/racial inequities can begin to be addressed by local government when they are broken down into small-scale, manageable, and affordable proposals.
