Meet the Class of 2014: Diana HajAhmad

Date

By Nigel Sielegar

Our series continues where the Class of 2014 tells "What I made this Summer."
"After realizing that my thesis will involve children, play, and imagination," notes Diana HajAhmad,  "I was on a mission to find a suitable internship that will enrich this subject. So I spent my summer at the Institute of Play, as the Design & Documentary Assistant. I was responsible for creating a series of illustrations, marketing material, complimentary programming identity, and art directing a photo shoot. This experience has allowed me to figure out the building blocks of my thesis, as well as learn common playing/gaming strategies."
