Dibuja Tu Casa (Draw Your House) is a redesign of the intake forms used to gather information from unaccompanied minors crossing the Mexico/U.S. border, which is often traumatic for young children.

At the time the intake process occurs, most unaccompanied minors are in a traumatized state from their arduous journey. Their education, literary skills, and native language vary, which makes the 45-minute interview complicated and stressful for children and lawyers alike. This redesigned form uses game-like activities and playful aesthetics to gather the information that will better represent the client in court. It takes into account the state of the client while still gathering the necessary quantifiable data. Using visual language inspired by art therapy activities, this redesigned form more sensitively gathers sophisticated responses.

This project could not have happened if not for the partnership with Catholic Charities
