Professor Nigel Cross is the podcasts' 120th guest, Emeritus Professor of Design Studies at the Open University, design researcher who played a pivotal role in establishing design as an academic discipline, Editor in Chief of the journal Design Studies between 1984-2017, developing the concept of design thinking along the way. We speak about the second edition of his book, Design Thinking: Understanding How Designers Think and Work, published with Bloomsbury in 2023. On design, Nigel says: ‘the key thing for me is to see it as a […] form of skilled behaviour, not as a talent or a gift, you know, something which you just magically have or you don't have. It's a form of skill. It's a set of cognitive and practical procedures that designers do in the process of designing. So that, I think is the most important thing for me to come out of what I've been researching - is to see it as a skill. And if it's a skill, then it can be enhanced, it can be trained, it can be educated.' This is a refreshing and for some I suspect, rather challenging suggestion. If it can be trained, perhaps we might ask, why isn't it more?  Nigel is so big he has a Wikipedia page. I mentioned Nigel's paper Design thinking: What just happened? published in Design Studies 86 (2023), and his earlier book, Design Participation (1972), which was the Proceedings of the Design Research Society International Conference, 1971: Design Participation.

Look at any can of cooking spray and it will say on the label that it has zero calories. How can that be? It can't be. Listen as I explain how they get away with saying that when it isn't really true and I'll reveal how many calories there actually are. https://cheatdaydesign.com/how-many-calories-does-cooking-spray-really-have/ No doubt you have heard of Ozempic. It is a drug that allows a lot of people to lose weight. While it is extremely effective, there are risks and concerns. But what is the bigger risk – the risks of taking the drug or the risks of remaining overweight? That's the question I explore with Johann Hari. He is a writer and journalist who has written for The New York Times, The Guardian, and other newspapers. His TED Talks have been viewed over 70 million times, he is the author of some bestselling books and he has taken Ozempic and lost weight. He has also thoroughly researched all sides of the debate on these drugs and the results of his work are in his book Magic Pill: The Extraordinary Benefits and Disturbing Risks of the New Weight-Loss Drugs (https://amzn.to/3WMpdC7). All the conveniences of living in a digital world are hard to argue with. Still, all these digital gadgets have made many cherished analog things obsolete. Think about how your smartphone has replaced the need for a watch, or camera or a bookstore or record store – even a map. Everything is digital now. This segment isn't about longing for “the good old days” of analog but rather looking at how important our analog world was a few decades ago and how some analog things still persist because they are still the better way (think of a pencil and a piece of paper). Joining me to talk about all things analog is Deyan Sudjic, Director Emeritus of the Design Museum in London, professor of Design Studies at the University of Lancaster in the UK and author of the book, The World of Analog: A Visual Guide (https://amzn.to/4dMnXEW). No matter what language people speak, when they get hurt they say “OUCH!” or something very close to it. Listen as I explain the reason and purpose of OWWW or OUCH!

What if educators completed a creative residency? In this episode of the Fueling Creativity in Education Podcast, hosts Drs. Matthew Worwood and Cyndi Burnett delve into a captivating discussion with guest Dr. Maureen Carroll about the dynamic landscape of professional development for educators. Maureen Carroll sheds light on different teacher responses and goals within professional development settings, underscoring the imperative of self-reflection in assimilating new knowledge to enhance their teaching methods. They tackle the concept of Professional Learning Communities (PLCs) and recognize the value PLCs have in fostering trust and robust relationships among teaching professionals, setting the stage for risk-taking and honest exchanges.  Additionally, they highlight the Creative Residencies program initiated by Carroll, which is aimed at rejuvenating educators by immersing them in creativity through artist-led experiences. The timing and objectives of such creative ventures are also examined, pinpointing their optimal placement within the academic year.  Maureen's Website Maureen Carroll, Ph.D., is the co-Founder of Lime Design and taught at Stanford's Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) for over a decade. She was also the Director of REDlab, which conducts research on design and learning and was a lecturer in Stanford University's Graduate School of Education. Carroll has published work in The Journal of Research in STEM Education, The International Journal of Art & Design Education, The Journal of Pre-College Engineering Education Research, BASE Innovation Journal, Design Studies, and The National Council of Teachers of English Voices from the Middle Journal. Prior to founding Lime Design, Carroll was the co-Founder of Bay Breeze Educational Resources, a curriculum design firm that integrated content area learning with media, the arts and popular culture.

Today’s guest is Jabe Bloom, in conversation with Simone and Emanuele Quintarelli, Boundaryless’ EEEO Micro Enterprise Lead.    With Jabe, we look into how, increasingly in an age of technologically powered organizations, thriving means the ability to enable “the three economies” of differentiation, scale and scope at the same time. The key question is: what’s the role of platforms and ecosystems in this shift?    During the chat we explore topics such as managing organizational commons, ensuring continuity between the organization and its ecosystem, decentralizing information, sympoietic versus autopoietic systems, maneuver warfare theory, cosmopolitan localism, the role of social practice and methodologies in institutional innovation and so much more. We focus on the interplay between these trends and organizational development.   Jabe Bloom is part of Red Hat’s Global Transformation Office, where he services as a senior director. He has been working to explore the complex interactions between design, innovation, development, and operational excellence in organizations for more than 20 years. Jabe is currently writing his dissertation in pursuit of a Ph.D. in Design Studies at Carnegie Mellon University (PA) – his research focuses on the field of Transition Design and informs an ongoing exploration of the practice of design and strategy with a select group of international clients.    Tune in to this informative conversation as we learn more about Jabe’s research, and his theories on organisational design and platform thinking.    Remember that you can always find transcripts and key highlights of the episode on our Medium publication: https://platformdesigntoolkit.com/Podcast-S2E16-Jabe-Bloom      To find out more about Jabe’s work:   > Website: http://blog.jabebloom.com/  > Twitter: https://twitter.com/cyetain   > Red Hat: https://www.redhat.com/en    Other references and mentions:   > Herbert Simon:  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbert_A._Simon  > Paul Lawrence and Jay Lorsch, Organization and Environment: Managing Differentiation and Integration, 1968: https://www.amazon.com/Organization-Environment-Managing-Differentiation-Integration/dp/0875841295   > Bruno Latour: http://www.bruno-latour.fr/index-2.html > Elinor Ostrom: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elinor_Ostrom  Find out more about the show and the research at Boundaryless at www.platformdesigntoolkit.com/podcast   Thanks for the ad-hoc music to Liosound / Walter Mobilio.

What is Design Emergency? It is an Instagram platform created by two of the world's most important women of design: Alice Rawsthorn – design critic, author of the book "Design as an Attitude", who will be our guest, and Paola Antonelli – Senior Curator in the Department of Architecture and Design, and Director of Research and Development at Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City. During the meeting, Agata Bisping – a producer of design and architecture exhibitions and cultural events – will talk with Alice about unlimited resources, creativity and willingness to reach for new, surprising and innovative solutions. These innovations help protect us from the pandemic and prepare us to redesign and reconstruct our lives in the future. Alice and Agata will show specific examples of activities resulting from the cooperation of designers, who join forces in the fight against the pandemic, and its long-term – social, political, economic and ecological – consequences. Alice Rawsthorn an award-winning design critic and author, whose books include "Hello World: Where Design Meets Life" and, most recently, "Design as an Attitude". Her weekly design column for The New York Times was syndicated worldwide for over a decade. Born in Manchester and based in London, Alice is chair of the boards of trustees at The Hepworth Wakefield art gallery in Yorkshire and Chisenhale Gallery in London, and a founding member of the Writers for Liberty campaign for human rights. Alice has been awarded an OBE for services to design and the arts. She is a co-founder with Paola Antonelli of the Design Emergency project to investigate design’s response to the Covid-19 crisis and its aftermath. Agata Bisping hosts meetings and webinars on design-related topics, the originator of MISTRZOWIE/MASTERS interview series for Design Space of SWPS University.

The world’s climate is changing and so the way we think about design needs to change with it. But before we know what that looks like, let’s dig into the science and understand how it might change. And as we think about expanding humid climate zones in the era of climate change, what does the cutting edge dehumidification technology look like? You’re going to find out. Join us as Kristof interviews Pamela Cabrera about the expansion of humid climate zones in the future and the development of passive, membrane-based dehumidification._______Pamela is currently a project climate engineer at Transsolar. Cabrera’s research centers on building science and new material assemblies for passive climate control systems. Her professional experience has alternated between New York and Lima, where she co-ran the studio CE-AD for three years. She is a partner at the Peruvian NGO Construye Identidad, where she contributes with research on the development of vernacular building and materials. She has a BArch from The Cooper Union and a Master’s in Design Studies in Energy & Environment from Harvard GSD, where she received the Daniel L. Schodek Award for Technology and Sustainability._______Abstracts For Pamela’s Research WorkUncovering Future Mold Risks in Existing Residential Walls with Climate Change Pamela. L. Cabrera1 , Holly W. Samuelson1 1 Harvard University, Graduate School of Design, Cambridge, MA, USAThis paper exposes the vulnerability of prevalent, wood-framed residential envelopes to mold-growth in predicted future weather, a topic that is yet to be explored in scientific literature. In the U.S. and elsewhere, residential exterior walls have followed a tradition of layered construction, including interior insulation to mitigate heat loss and vapor membranes to control moisture. These building assemblies, and their defining codes, have been designed for a narrow definition of historical climate which may be ill- suited for future conditions. We combine state-of-the-art hygrothermal simulation and mold-growth computation with morphed future weather data to analyze 60 prevalent code-compliant walls in three U.S. cities: New York City, Philadelphia and Washington D.C. Our results show an imminent problem in all tested wall types indicating future mold prevalence. The work serves as a framework for considering future hygrothermal risks in building envelopes and demonstrates the widespread need for further work on building resilience. The Humid Threshold: Cooling hot, humid climates via membrane dehumidification Thesis, Master in Design Studies - Energy and Environment Pamela L. Cabrera Pardo Harvard University, Graduate School of Design, Cambridge, MA, USAThe thesis centers on the design of a membrane material for cooling hot, humid climates via dehumidification, by selecting water vapor out of humid air. While membrane selectivity is a well-known field of study, found throughout nature and applied across industries, architecture has only regarded membranes as barriers. However, membranes have the potential to separate substances through diffusion, a passive process that is isothermal, and therefore a membrane selectivity system for dehumidification can be less energy intensive than typical vapor compression system used for cooling (Yang, Yuan, Gao, & Guo, 2015) (Woods, 2014) (Mahmud, Mahmood, Simonson, & Besant, 2010). Membrane dehumidification research has been developed over two decades for the enhancement of air mechanical units, but it has not yet been proposed as a building material. This thesis investigates the possibility of using membranes as a building screen material to dehumidify incoming air as it is drawn into a building. This application could lower the latent heat that drives air conditioning demand in humid climates, and thus increase natural ventilation potential and other passive dry-bulb cooling strategies.

Haddox, Chris Assistant Professor of Interior Design & Design Studies. Chris Haddox, PhD, is an Assistant Professor of Sustainable Design at West Virginia University where his teaching efforts revolve around the minor in sustainable design—a robust program he created while a visiting assistant professor at WVU.

The interview was recorded at Dutch Design Week 2019 in Eindhoven. About Dave Hakkens: davehakkens.nl/about/

The 5th episode was recorded at the University of Southern Denmark, where I currently teach Fashion Studies, in the Department of Design and Communications. I was invited by Vinnie Hansen, the Chairwoman of HAU – the Network Association for Design Studies – to present a talk on fashion and sustainability, to both the association members – the future generation of professionals in Design Studies in Denmark – and the general public, at their annual General Assembly Meeting in 2019. I focused my presentation on where we are in the current sustainability discourse, where the main challenges lie now, and what we can all do as educators, designer, entrepreneurs, consumers, researchers, and innovators. I argue that in light of the current climate crisis, sustainability is no longer enough, that we need to envision new ways to move beyond sustainability towards re-generation, and that we need to connect the sustainability research, development, and discourse with creativity across multi-disciplinary fields of research, inquiry, think tanks, and the future directions in design. I believe that creativity is the key ingredient, that is unfortunately still under-valued and under-funded, in generating new ideas and new directions for making our lives, work, and our environments more sustainable. I leave the audience with some points of inspiration on where we should re-direct our focus, and what we can all do, individually and collectively, to generate change. I mention Greta Thunberg, who, at the time of this presentation, was organizing climate strikes across Canada, and specifically in Edmonton, Alberta, the former oil capital of Canada, and also in Vancouver, British Columbia, where currently Indigenous communities and climate activists are protesting against the Government of Canada for allowing oil corporations to build a pipeline that stretches from the Alberta tar-sand fields, where oil is still extracted at a high cost to the environment, to the Pacific Ocean, through a province that experiences uncontrollable wild fires each summer. The fact that Greta Thunberg managed to bring out so many young people both in Alberta and BC to strike is very inspiring. But it is only the first step in the right direction. The many, new, next steps still need to be envisioned, initiated, and sustained. My presentation was followed by a panel discussion with several Danish fashion professionals and fashion educators on the challenges of fashion sustainability both in education and in the industry. The panel was in Danish, so it is not recorded here, but I provided some guiding questions for the panelists to discuss, that I list at the end of my presentation.

Nathan Crilly has written a lot about the phenomena of design fixation that is discussed in the podcast. Two very recent publications of his, in volume 64 of the journal Design Studies, are a good place to start. One is of case studies of creative discovery, and the other summarises the theory of design fixation to date. The key early work he refers to, that first identified the design fixation phenomena in 1991, is by David Jansson and Stephen Smith in Volume 12 of Design Studies.

Kirsty Thomas runs creative studio Tom Pigeon from the East Neuk of Fife. We go through her journey from fashion design to teaching to the creation of Tom Pigeon and her latest project The Make Bank. After a bit of a false start with Sports Science Kirsty went on to a degree in Design Studies which didn’t exactly prepare her with the skills needed for industry but did give her broad scope which has lead to a really broad and varied career. After a stint with clothing company Joe Bloggs, she experienced what she describes as an ‘itch’. This becomes a theme throughout her career and has led to a sort of cyclical change every few years. I think it’s a really healthy part of human nature to stop ourselves from getting caught in a rut. The most dangerous thing you can do is not recognise the need for change. It is so important to take stock of everything once in a while and allow yourself some perspective on your situation and the direction you’re headed in. Since it’s creation in 2014 Tom Pigeon has become internationally known for colourful minimal geometric work across prints, stationery, jewellery and physical products. They have worked on many collaborations with museums, galleries and companies such as The Barbican, The Tate and made.com. We go into how that collaborative process, how it works and when it doesn’t, when it’s time to walk away. Walking away from projects isn’t something that has come up a lot in the podcast but it’s a difficult area especially when taking into consideration the financial implications. It comes down to your professional integrity and your vision for the future vs your financial situation and potential gain from a project. These really aren’t easy decisions to make. Kirsty’s most recent itch was one of social responsibility. She recognised that Tom Pigeon is in the privileged position of selling to an affluent audience and in general the creative industries are an area of white privilege. We have a massive issue of creative poverty in this country. Where school pupils and students are unable to gain access to basic materials in order to complete course work or create portfolios. This creates an imbalance where those who can afford the basics have fewer opportunities to access the creative industries than those who do. Regardless of talent or determination, it comes down to the ability to afford things like pencils and paper. The Make Bank has been created in order to help address this issue by creating packs that can be donated to those children who need it most. You simply head to the website themakebank.org.uk purchase a pack and they’ll distribute it for you. They also have an amazing range of prints for sale, donated by world-renowned creatives with all profits going towards addressing this UK wide issue. So if you are in a position to do so, I would urge you to please donate a pack or buy a print to help support this amazing cause. As well as providing the materials needed, The Make Bank is also trying to address the knowledge gap. To demystify how to create a career in the creative industries and to help parents and teachers understand that there are viable career options in these areas. Make Bank is doing this by capturing the stories, journeys and thoughts of creatives in the industry in the form of audio recordings, blog posts and video. This falls in line with what I am trying to achieve with this very podcast. Creative Chit Chat is very much Dundee focused and I hope that the podcast has managed to share insight and encourage people to get into the creative industries. It’s all down to how many people we can reach. If everyone was to share it with 1 person it would boost the audience massively so please do.

“Many have seen a TED talk about design thinking but they don’t know what’s next — what it looks like.” This week on the On Brand podcast we unpacked design thinking, magical experiences, Nordic design, and how to criticize creative work with Jon Kolko, author of Creative Clarity and Partner at Modernist Studio. About Jon Kolko Jon Kolko is the author of Creative Clarity, Partner at Modernist Studio, and the Founder of Austin Center for Design. Previously the Vice President of Design at Blackboard, he has worked extensively with both startups and Fortune 500 companies. He has been a Professor of Interaction and Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design, and has taught at the University of Texas at Austin, the Center for Design Studies of Monterrey, Mexico, and Malmö University, Sweden. Episode Highlights How is teaching in the US different than teaching abroad? Jon has taught in some of my favorite places. But how is teaching Austin, Texas different from teaching in Malmo, Sweden? The work ethic is a little different to say the least. “Sweden is committed and motivated. They respect design and humanity ahead of business.” More on Nordic design. As a frequent visitor to Sweden, Denmark, and Finland, I am a huge fan of Nordic design. “They take it very seriously. They roll up their sleeves and work on something until it’s done.” How can your brand embrace design thinking? Jon shared his two core pillars. First, vision/narrative. Design thinkers have a knack for embracing the world as it could be and sharing that vision. Usually through storytelling. Second, criticism/iteration. We need to get better at talking about why something doesn’t work. How can we get better about talking about things that don’t work? “There are rules! First the person being critiqued shuts up. This lets everyone be heard. But they also get to filter. We also make sure the language is aimed at the work product.” As opposed to critiquing the person behind the work. What brand has made Jon smile recently? An experience buying a washer and dryer. That’s all I’ll say here. You have to listen for the smile. To learn more, go to jonkolko.com and moderniststudio.com.

Jacob Hamman on how virtual reality and healthy life habits can help prevent and reverse Alzheimer's disease. Jacob grew up in Phoenix Arizona. After studying architecture at the University of Southern California (USC), he worked as an architect at Gehry Partners for seven years. He holds a Master in Design Studies in Technology from the Harvard Graduate School of Design, where he developed Archiverse, an immersive virtual reality modeling environment to create massing models at early stages of the design of a building. Jacob's life shifted after his mom was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's disease. Inspired by the work of Dale Bredesen, he decided to research how virtual reality could help prevent and reverse Alzheimer's disease. The system he currently develops at Zenjoi incorporates a series of engaging cognitive and physical exercises, healthy life habits, and stress-reducing therapies into a virtual reality world to reduce the risk to suffer cognitive decline. He is also one of the members of Growy, a startup that re-envisions the food distribution system by bringing locally-grown food to our houses. Jacob and his partners describe this exciting adventure as an "in-home gardening companion and social platform for sharing knowledge of healthy and delicious food."

In this episode, Kristof interviews Kiel Moe of Harvard's GSD about the energy flows and multiple re-thinkings necessary to change the future of construction and design. You may remember reading about Kiel's inspiration to us at Positive Energy in our blog post about the thermally active surface system we installed in our office, compliments of the fine and wonderful people at Messana and SpacePak. This episode is definitely headier than most of ours, so buckle in and be ready to hit pause, rewind, and take notes if you need. We couldn't be more thrilled that he stopped by the office to chat. Kiel MoeKiel is a registered architect and has taught architecture and energy at University of Illinois at Chicago, Syracuse University and Northeastern University. He holds positions as Associate Professor of Architecture & Energy and Co-Director of Master of Design Studies program in Harvard Graduate School of Design.Moe received the B.Arch from the University of Cincinnati, M.Arch from University of Virginia, and a Master in Design and Environmental Studies from the Harvard Graduate School of Design Advanced Studies Program. Professor Moe's research and pedagogy focuses on an agenda (theories, techniques, and technologies) for energy that is at once more ecologically and architecturally ambitous: Maximum Power Design. A such, he focuses on both buildings as manifestations of large scale energy systems as well as overlooked and discrete thermal parameters in buildings that yet have great impact on the power of a building.Ideas To UnpackMaterial Ecology: coined by Neri Oxman (Architect, Designer, Inventor), focuses on and considers computation, fabrication, and the material itself as inseparable dimensions of design. In this approach, products and buildings are biologically informed and digitally engineered by, with and for, Nature.Energetics Of Urbanization: deals with the relationship between energy flows, urbanization, and how they relate to economic practices and theories. Learn more about Neil Brenner and his work here.Pedagogy: how we relate to, study, and implement teaching.Planetary Urbanization: thinking about how we urbanize at a planetary level, how that affects resource and energy flows, and how life on the planet is shaped by it. Howard Odum: a brilliant ecologist who had a profound impact on the economic theories of energy flow. He coined the term and developed the theory of emergy, which deals with the embodied energy of any given object or structure.Epistemology: how do we know what we know? Pretty much. Political Economy: the study of production and trade and their relations with law, custom and government as well as with the distribution of national income and wealth.Adrian Bejan: a brilliant mechanical engineer who first stated the notion of Constructal Law, which is the law of physics that accounts for the phenomenon of evolution (configuration, form, design) throughout nature, inanimate flow systems and animate systems together."For a finite-size system to persist in time (to live), it must evolve in such a way that it provides easier access to the imposed currents that flow through it."-Adrian Bejan, The Constructal LawThe constructal law places the concepts of life, evolution, design and performance in physics, which is in the broadest scientific arena. The constructal law is the law of physics of life and evolution. Forest Ecology: how do you get the wood that you use?

Thursday, March 29, 2012 - 7:00pm - 10:00pm The TD Guest Speaker/Designer in Residence Program and Emily Carr are proud to present educator, researcher and designer, Cameron Tonkinwise and his featured talk, Redesigning Freedom for Sustainability. Cameron Tonkinwise (Ph.D., University of Sydney) is Associate Professor and Associate Dean for Sustainability at Parsons The New School for Design. He was formerly the co-Chair of the Tishman Environment and Design Center. Before coming to The New School, Tonkinwise was the Director of Design Studies at the University of Technology, Sydney, and prior to that, Executive Officer of Change Design, a not-for-profit independent research organization (formerly EcoDesign Foundation). His doctoral research concerned the educational theories of Martin Heidegger and he continues to investigate what the ontological philosophy of Heidegger can teach designers. His current research focuses on 'dematerialization design' - enhancing societal sustainability by facilitating less materials-intense lifestyles through design. This work involves a number of funded research projects exploring service design, design fostering sustainable behavior, and the relation between design and social capital. Tonkinwise is currently researching product sharing, both commercial and non-commercial. In this presentation, Tonkinwise will argue that a more comprehensive understanding of the role of designing, designs and service will affect how freedom is experienced in everyday life. This will afford better ways of defining what it might mean to be free within more sustainable futures.

In this episode, I talk a little bit about Snail's Trail blocks, give two book reviews, and describe the starting of a new design study group in my quilt life. What fun!

She says you can size it down to 180x180 if it's too big as-is, without a lot of distortion. Thanks, Pam! (By the way, Pam says she's winning. I certainly know she's beating me!)

The programs in our school are very ‘hands-on’ and involve active learning, field trips and group work. The programs have dual aims to develop knowledge in design and built environment, including digital and manual modelling; and to develop proficiency in written, oral and graphics communication. This session will provide information about our programs, such as study pathways and career opportunities, and will also showcase students’ work and achievements.

Albert Paley talks about Design Study for the Washington National Cathedral Gate, in the Albert Paley in the 21st century exhibition, on view at the Memorial Art Gallery, May 2-June 27, 2010.

Have you ever seen a web site so clear, logical, and exquisitely composed it made you stop in your tracks? Have you wondered how the designer achieved such a stunning and cohesive design? In this presentation, Kimberly Elam, designer and author of the best-selling "Geometry of Design" and "Typographic Systems" will reveal the mysterious relationships between proportion, visual systems, composition and aesthetics. Too often excellent conceptual ideas suffer during the process of realization, in large part because the designer did not understand the essential visual principles. This presentation explores these elements and how they work by examining how the use of visual principles informs, even creates, beauty in typographic design, but, more importantly, how you can use these techniques to create cohesiveness in your own design. The wide range of visual examples are both informative and insightful, and any designer can benefit from learning or revisiting the rules governing the basics of typographic design. Kimberly Elam is a writer, educator, and graphic designer. She is currently the Chair of the Graphic & Interactive Communication Department at the Ringling College of Art + Design, Sarasota, Florida, where she has developed an academic minor in the Business of Art and Design. Her first book, Expressive Typography - Word as Image, identifies and analyzes methods by which words can transcend didactic meaning and become images. Geometry of Design - Studies in Proportion and Composition, visually illustrates the connection between classic proportioning systems and modern graphic design, industrial design, illustration, and architecture. Grid Systems - Principles of Organizing Type puts forth a clear methodology for understanding and learning the grid system of composition. Her most recent book, Typographic Systems - Rules for Organizing Type presents an innovative series of nontraditional, rule-based, visual language systems for typographic composition. Her current work focuses on the development of a series of innovative ebooks and print-on-demand books for design education on her website, StudioResourceInc.com.
