Hi, my name is D.J. Trischler, and in this is Process Out Loud the podcast. It’s a space where I reflect on everything that I’ve learned from teaching and studying during the previous week. Most of the content will refer to my experiences in the masters of design program (MDes) through the school of design at The University of Cincinnati’s College of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning (DAAP). While there’s a lot to cover in one week, I try to keep the episode’s brief at about 10 minutes each. I hope you enjoy it.
