Beyond- A Discussion

I started this blog as a place to watch and showcase the contributions of those looking for ways to continue and push what Design can be in today’s society.

Throughout my observations, I plan to especially keep an eye out for students who are looking to participate in this conversation. I hope this can be a forum that is not only devoted to capturing and disseminating the work that is breaking traditional boundaries of disciplines, problem solving, and design thinking, but to also be a place where current works and ideas can be discussed, critiqued and developed.
