Zee Bialik (they/them) is a multidisciplinary designer and educator interested in using the design of learning experiences to facilitate social change.
Their recent design work has focused on the design of children’s museum exhibitions, learning toys, and educational activity kits.
With a user experience focused approach, their work is not tied to any particular medium or discipline, but plays out across the design of spaces, objects, graphics, written text, and performance. By first identifying key design objectives and only after deciding on what multidisciplinary, multimedia, and multiparticipatory tactics should be used to meet those objectives, design can be better targeted towards resulting change.
Zee’s primary objectives with any learning experience design project is to empower people and communities, facilitate joy and wonder, and inspire lifelong love of learning.
Zee is currently studying at Pratt Institute. They are pursuing a bachelors of industrial design, minor in art and design education, and minor in book arts.
At Buck’s Rock, a non-profit montessori arts camp, Zee has spent the last five summers teaching bookbinding and papermaking to learners aged 10-17. As manager of the Book Arts studio, Zee leads a teaching team and develops curriculum.
In their free time, Zee plays bass, hosts a Dungeons and Dragons group, and goes to art museums.
