Mia Zeidler

ARTribe website designer / Leader in 2016-2017

When re-designing ARTribe Los Angeles' website, I wanted to make all information from ARTribe, SPIRAL Foundation, and studies on the victims of Agent Orange accessible in one location. The after effects Agent Orange had on the families and children in Vietnam became a large portion of my studies throughout my position and years to follow.

Entering college, opening one’s minds to the technology of science allows an expansion in life and where science and medicine will go. Some may ask, what is there to do when so many centuries have passed?

The answer is staying both politically active and socially aware. Participating in organizations that give to causes supporting the reclamation costs of war victims continues to represent every victim in the most proactive way. Writing letters to your local representatives can help voice your opinions and stand up for what is right. We can continue to fight the after effects of war even after it has ended.
