©2023 Lisa J. Maione. This work and research involves her collaborators, her students, Kansas City Art Institute and for instance, a design practice.

Every effort is being made to credit all where acknowledgement and authorship is appropriate. Please reach out should you see any errors so I may address them swiftly. Thank you for your patience, grace and generosity.

A primary throughline that I observe in the communities I serve, learn from, and work within is a commitment to striving for ever-more inclusive practices that expand the ways and places in which design is defined, shared and experienced.
