Senior🎓
Top SchoolAmy Yoshitsu is a multidisciplinary designer and sculptor with 11 years of experience blending product design, visual arts, and socially engaged practice to shape experiences rooted in empathy, equity, and research. As co-creator and worker-owner of Converge Collaborative, she leads cooperative, BIPOC-centered projects that fuse art direction, brand and product UI/UX, and systems-building with transparent, consensus-driven collaboration. Her work interrogates power, labor, race, and economics through both tangible sculpture and digital interfaces, prioritizing user mental models while honoring the collective histories and decisions that produce each outcome. Trained at Harvard in Visual and Environmental Studies, she brings a curious, interdisciplinary approach—drawing on psychology, sociology, and DIY consensus methods—to design infrastructures that foster generosity and measurable progress.
