She first organized three online workshops to initiate the project with five women and each one created their own skateboard.&nbsp; She tracked the progress of the designs and took photos at the end with each of their designs on their boards. The final step of her ROLL Models project was to create a short documentary about her passion for making skateboard decks and to show the whole process in order to empower other women skaters who want to learn.

<p><span><span><span><span><em><span>“My plan is to get an open workshop, maybe with a few people at each time. Teach them how to make a board, do the graphics as well and actually teach skateboarding at the same time.”</span></em></span></span></span></span></p>
