i teach human-centered design at dartmouth college, where i run the joy lab and was a founding co-director of the design initiative. before that, i co-founded sparktruck and taught at the stanford d.school, where i helped to develop the “designing your life” curriculum. i am also the executive director of the future of design in higher education community of practice.
i care most about using design education to build kids' creative confidence. ("kids" means six to sixty years old, but i especially care about those around ten and twenty.)
whenever i get the chance, i like to make all kinds of things.
