Special Seminar: Three Questions that Changed My Design Practice—Who, What & How

Optional ZOOM LINK
Meeting ID: 968 6161 7919
Passcode: 070403

Designers love good questions—but some questions don’t just guide a project, they reshape a practice. In this talk, I’ll share three simple questions that have transformed the way I think about design, teaching, and leadership. Drawing from my work in interdisciplinary design education and innovation strategy, I’ll explore how these questions lead to new ways of thinking about who we design with, what we design for, and how we prepare students to meet the challenges of a rapidly changing world.

Hosted by Professor Sol Diamond.
