Belle Ren
I’m an Operator Intern at EcoPower ’26 and a student at Brooklyn Technical High School, learning visual storytelling, community mapping, and accessible design. I turn research into cards, maps, and digital experiences that help people notice the details that make a place feel like home.

A composting trivia card game built around learning through play. I designed the physical cards, shaped the web component, and considered accessibility from the start.

The card game now lives online—play the trivia deck in your browser.

Infrastructure Walking Tour
A phone-ready, self-guided map of The Flats with 11 stops, narrative annotations, and the community resources worth knowing—and defending.
Walk the story“Ethan always gets small bites with me. That’s community too.”
8th Avenue, Brooklyn
“Most people notice it but brush it off. I see it as actually returning to my community and the simple way of living in a busy city, a warm place.”

I’m interested in visual design, storytelling, community research, and turning Sweet Rot into an app.
