created for: Parsons school of design Lab 2009

idea: Tran sam was created for Parsons lab class in the spring of 2009. The assignment for the project was to create a toy or game of some form. The idea behind tran sam was to make a puppet that broke down gender barriers. Tran sam is intended to teach children that adhering to a gender binary is not necessary and by doing so, tran sam teaches children from a young age that the transgender community is not to be feared. Tran sam is meant to break down the barriers of discrimination and transphobia via a fun and playful puppet.
