Olivia Foss

Olivia received her undergraduate degree in Liberal Arts from the Evergreen State College with a focus on New Media studies from the Evergreen State College and is interested in how new forms of participatory engagement can help guide and inform the design process. Olivia was raised in Fargo, North Dakota and issues relating to changing relationships between farmer, food and environment are of special interest to her. Her master's thesis at the Rhode Island School of Design borrowed techniques from the disciplines of foresight, performance art and critical design to speculate about the future of trash, food and farming as it relates to the maintenance of soil health.
