Because she is a passionate individual, she has an interest in creating a community filled with creative thoughts and strengthening cultures. As a Hmong American designer, Lee wants to show her culture the beauty of art and have the Hmong community become more involved in art and design. Lee’s passion is to be able to help inspire young artists to design for a greater cause and also help them strive to achieve their goals as designers.

Project Description

Promoting the practice of bettering one’s health is an important part of long term home health care. The Hmong community in Milwaukee is one of the largest communities in the US and who are twice as likely to be diagnosed with diabetes. This series of pamphlets was designed to guide Hmong patients through the steps necessary to care for their diabetes. Along with the pamphlets, a video educates patients on the use of insulin. I was fortunate enough to work the pharmacist and her interns at Hayat Pharmacy in Milwaukee to develop these materials.

Research Question

Use design to develop materials that will educate Hmong diabetic patients about the disease as well as understand their treatment to better control diabetes in the home.
