Welcome to Episode 142 of the Think UDL podcast: Empathetic Design with Jimena Vergara Sanz. Jimena is an Assistant Professor of Industrial Design at Appalachian State University in Boone, North Carolina. A teaching and learning college of mine introduced me to Jimena's work, so I'd like to thank Derek Eggers in our Center for Teaching and Learning for Student Success for this fantastic connection. In today's episode, we discuss empathetic design, human-centered design, adaptive design versus universal design, and of course, universal design for learning. I learned so much from the exercises Professor Jimena Vergara Sanz has introduced to her students and so have her students and also, so has she as we will discuss. We talk about her interesting journey as a professor in a foreign context, that is being an international professor teaching in the United States, and also how having a physical disability informs her teaching practice. And we end with hope. So much hope! And how we need empathy in the world and how empathetic design makes the world so much better–not just in education, but in politics, the medical and medical insurance field, and just everywhere. I am so excited to bring this conversation to you and if you want to learn more you can find Jimena's contact information along with the articles mentioned in today's episode on the ThinkUDL.org website resources just before the transcript for this episode.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Mark Steven Porro, author of the book A Cup of Tea on the Commode. Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), earned an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University. After years of agency work, his love of acting led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in dozens of television, film, and stage productions. Mark also spent his twenty-eight years in Tinseltown, entrepreneuring. He started five non-profit companies. But hold the applause, none were intended to be. He now lives in the South of France. But hold your pity. He of sound mind and body chose to suffer in the heart of wine country where the locals insist his French isn't so bad—at least that's what he thinks they're saying.   Mark is an award-winning designer, writer, director, and now a best-selling, award-winning author. He has written lots of jokes, several screenplays, and one award-winning short film. A Cup of Tea on the Commode—a sad, sweet, and funny debut memoir—chronicles his multitasking adventures of filling his mother's last years with love, laughter, and joy. Though not always successful, he came pretty damn close.   In my book review, I stated A Cup of Tea on the Commode is a memoir about his time as a caregiver for his ailing mother. Porro takes readers on a real-life journey complete with personal childhood memories, funny anecdotes, and poignant details about his time as a caregiver.   What I loved most is Porro's honesty. Being a caregiver is difficult. As a caregiver, he did his best but sometimes, his best and his family's best, led to not-so-great outcomes. Yet, overall, caring for his mom was something he wouldn't have wanted to miss because it gave him precious time with someone he loved dearly.   As a caregiver, I related completely. However, this book will touch more than caregivers. It will resonate with anyone who has a relationship with a parent - good or difficult - and provide the reader with new ways to look at aging.   Subscribe to Online for Authors to learn about more great books! https://www.youtube.com/@onlineforauthors?sub_confirmation=1   Join the Novels N Latte Book Club community to discuss this and other books with like-minded readers: https://www.facebook.com/groups/3576519880426290   You can follow Author Mark Steven Porro Website: https://acupofteaonthecommode.org FB: @teaonthe IG: @ a_cup_of_tea_on_the_commode X: @ teaonthe LinkedIn: @Mark Porro   Purchase A Cup of Tea on the Commode on Amazon: Paperback: https://amzn.to/4e3TwJt Ebook: https://amzn.to/3A5kEdm   Teri M Brown, Author and Podcast Host: https://www.terimbrown.com FB: @TeriMBrownAuthor IG: @terimbrown_author X: @terimbrown1   #markstevenporro #acupofteaonthecommode #memoir #terimbrownauthor #authorpodcast #onlineforauthors #characterdriven #researchjunkie #awardwinningauthor #podcasthost #podcast #readerpodcast #bookpodcast #writerpodcast #author #books #goodreads #bookclub #fiction #writer #bookreview *As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), earned an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University. After years of agency work, his love of acting led him to Hollywood, where he appeared in dozens of television, film, and stage productions. Mark also spent his twenty-eight years in Tinseltown, entrepreneuring. He started five non-profit companies. But hold the applause, none were intended to be. He now lives in the South of France. But hold your pity. He of sound mind and body chose to suffer in the heart of wine country where the locals insist his French isn't so bad—at least that's what he thinks they're saying. Join us for this delightful conversation about his debut novel, A Cup of Tea on the Commode, and his experience recording the audiobook.

On this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop interviews Tim Bajarin, Chairman of Creative Strategies, Inc., for a fascinating exploration of the evolution of technology. The conversation spans Tim's early career during the dawn of personal computing in the 1980s, historical reflections on pivotal inventions like Gutenberg's printing press, the legacy of Xerox PARC, and the rise of Apple's graphical interface and desktop publishing. They also discuss the human dynamics of innovation, from the tight-knit tech communities of Silicon Valley to parallels with historic institutions like the Royal Society. For more insights into Tim Bajarin's ongoing work, you can explore his articles on Forbes or visit Creative Strategies at creativestrategies.com.Check out this GPT we trained on the conversation!Timestamps00:00 Introduction and Guest Background00:54 Entering the PC Market in the 1980s05:39 Historical Context and Technological Evolution13:21 The Impact of Desktop Publishing24:54 The Role of Historical Knowledge in Technology38:12 The Influence of British Technological Advancements47:30 Conclusion and Final ThoughtsKey InsightsThe Historical Context of Innovation is Crucial for Understanding Technology's Future: Tim Bajarin emphasizes that to forecast the future of technology, one must understand its historical roots. His career as an analyst has been informed by studying transformative moments like Gutenberg's printing press and innovations in the 1800s, including the Royal Society's influence on science and technology. This perspective underscores how historical breakthroughs set the stage for modern advancements.The Birth of Personal Computing Was a Collaborative Effort: Bajarin's entry into the tech industry coincided with the IBM PC launch in 1981. He became one of the first PC analysts, working with companies like Compaq, Dell, and Apple. The development of personal computing was fueled by close-knit communities of engineers and innovators who shared ideas, much like the collaborative environment of historical groups like the Royal Society.Xerox PARC's Innovations Were the Bedrock for Modern Computing: The role of Xerox PARC in shaping today's computing landscape is highlighted as pivotal. Bajarin recounts their invention of the graphical user interface (GUI) and the mouse, which were foundational for Apple's Mac. Although Xerox didn't capitalize on these ideas, their contributions enabled Steve Jobs and others to build the computing paradigms we use today.Desktop Publishing Revolutionized Communication and Creativity: Bajarin predicted the desktop publishing boom, thanks to innovations like Apple's laser printer, PageMaker software, and PostScript technology. These advancements transformed the publishing industry, allowing individuals and small businesses to create professional-quality content, democratizing access to creative tools.Steve Jobs' Return to Apple Marked a Turning Point in Design and Vision: When Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, the company was near bankruptcy. Bajarin describes how Jobs refocused Apple on its core customers, introduced innovative industrial design, and created products like the colorful iMac. This redefined how consumers viewed computers, blending functionality with aesthetic appeal and cementing Apple's market position.The Evolution of Technology is Driven by Both Process and Innovation: Bajarin explains how every major technological leap, from the printing press to the PC, has involved the convergence of innovative devices and refined processes. For instance, advancements in printing presses during the 1800s mirrored the systematic innovations in the tech industry during the 1980s and 1990s.The Role of Community and Networks in Driving Innovation: The episode draws a parallel between the 1980s tech clubs in Silicon Valley and earlier knowledge-sharing networks, such as the letter-writing analysts of Renaissance Italy or the Royal Society. Bajarin illustrates how communities of like-minded individuals, whether in tech or science, have always been instrumental in fostering innovation.

Letting go of the busyness, was a gift Jennifer gave to herself. Her grandmother was always keeping busy as was her mom, but Jennifer wasn't happy just doing things that she didn't really want to  do.My guest wanted to satisfy her interests of both the right and left sides of her brain.  Becoming an engineer seemed like a logical career choice because her father was an engineer.  Twenty years later, she realized she was bored and needed more.  She retired and  completed her Masters degree in Industrial Design. When Jennifer mentioned to her mom that she may pursue an architecture degree, her mother said "don't waste your time."Jennifer's grandfather started having heart complications when her mom was just 9 years old. Jennifer is certain this is where and when the anxiety issues started for her mother. Jennifer's grandmother was also anxious and worried about her husband's health. Both women were always ready for the next emergency. Waiting for the other shoe to drop.  Anxiety and stress can easily be passed down from generation to generation. In understanding her family's serious circumstances at the time, Jennifer felt it was now time to stop the cycle of anxiety and being busy just for the sake of being busy.When intuition suggests something has to change, it's a good idea to listen to that silent voice.  Jennifer took advantage of her downtime during the pandemic to reflect, plan, try new ways, analyze, stop, evaluate and try again. Her result is her book Natural Reflectors.Natural Reflectors: Moving From Burnout to Engagement by Phasing Reflection into Actions (Natural Reflectors Series Book 1)Amazon Link: Natural Reflectorshttps://www.amazon.com/Natural-Reflectors-Burnout-Engagement-Reflection-ebook/dp/B09DFNLLDWThe World Health Organization names stress as the health epidemic of the 21st Century. Slowing down not only reduces stress, but produces outcomes with a greater impact.Natural Reflectors explores the idea of instilling, within our actions, a mindset of intentional reflection taken from the power of nature's cycles. You will learn how a healthy process of managing one's life has both elements of reflection and action. Find within these pages stories such as:Bill Burnett from Stanford's Design Your Life Lab explaining how we can only make good decisions when listening to both our mind and bodyStacy Levy, an environmental artist revealing the stories in nature that surround each of us, allowing us to see them, appreciate them, consider them, and maybe even learn from themCarl Honore describing how our behavior is heavily influenced by our definition of timeIf you have ever thought that there must be a better way to find meaning and purpose in your everyday life, read Natural Reflectors. If you are tired of living on autopilot, or if you are seeking a greater connection with the world around you, this book offers hope. FB:  Jennifer PeaveyInstagram: jenniferpeavey, jennifer.theblacklabLinkedIn: Jennifer Peavey--Jennifer Peavey completed her Master's in Industrial Design from North Carolina State University to add to her two degrees in Chemical Engineering from Clemson University.

She is known for finding common ground and powerful connections in unexplored territory. Amid the pandemic, Jennifer found herself making new connections within herself as she ventured into uninvestigated spaces of her life. Through this period of isolation and reflection, she was inspired to share her discovery of turning her fear and pain into a mindset of intentional reflection and power.      "Should Have Listened To My Mother" is an ongoing conversation about mothers/female role models and the roles they play in our lives.

We explore the changing nature of shared cultural experiences, from the era of must-see TV to today's fragmented media landscape. This led us to ponder the value of communal viewing experiences and how streaming platforms might evolve to foster more connection.We then dove into a fascinating discussion on design, art, and the objects that surround us. Inspired by Bruno Munari's book "Design as Art," we contemplated the intersection of form and function, the concept of "quintessence" in everyday items, and the importance of creating beautiful, purposeful objects. This naturally flowed into an examination of our own collections, particularly focusing on typewriters.We wrapped up by reflecting on the emotional connections we form with certain objects, whether due to their design, provenance, or the memories they evoke. We considered how surrounding ourselves with meaningful, well-crafted items can fuel creativity and spark joy in our daily lives. Ultimately, we celebrated the beauty found in both the cutting-edge and the vintage, recognizing that true artistry transcends time and medium. -AI If you enjoyed this episode, please consider giving us a rating and/or a review.

Joe Gebbia's journey began in Georgia, where his early interest in sports led him to work as a ball boy for the Atlanta Hawks. However, his true passion lay in art, earning him the nickname "art guy" in school as he spent countless hours drawing from comic books. This passion led him to the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he discovered industrial design and the work of Charles and Ray Eames. A pivotal moment came when a professor doubted his art project, but Joe secured school funding and proved the professor wrong, showcasing his early entrepreneurial spirit.At RISD, Joe met Brian Chesky, and he felt an instant connection, believing they would create something significant together. After graduation, Joe moved to San Francisco and convinced Brian to join him, leading to the creation of Airbnb. Faced with skepticism and rejection from investors and law firms, Joe drew on his art background to reframe challenges as opportunities. This resilience paid off as Airbnb became a global phenomenon, changing how people travel and connect.Joe's journey at Airbnb taught him invaluable leadership lessons and underscored the importance of creativity and innovation. His artistic sensibility helped him approach problems with a fresh perspective, leading to the creation of Samara, a venture focused on reimagining home design. After Airbnb went public, Joe branched Samara out as a separate company, recognizing the potential in the Accessory Dwelling Unit (ADU) space.Beyond Airbnb, Joe relocated to Austin, Texas, becoming a minority owner of the San Antonio Spurs and aligning his entrepreneurial pursuits with his passion for sports. Committed to making a positive impact, Joe is passionate about causes such as homelessness and environmental sustainability. He also helped establish the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity, reflecting his commitment to fostering creativity and innovation.

How are you embracing your current situation to learn and lift where you are?In this episode, Jeff and Mike discuss: Trying different things while searching for your calling. Taking time while away to evaluate priorities and values. Turning to God in the windfalls of our life. Your work in business is a high calling.   Key Takeaways: Run your business with a stewardship mentality. Everything belongs to God, He is there in the highs and the lows of business. Business is about the people, not the product. Hold on loosely, value people, and give them opportunities to advance even if they don't stay. If you're doing what's best for your people, ultimately, you're doing what's best for your business. Ministry is not the only high calling in life. Your high calling may be in business and helping others reach their high callings. Embrace where you are at and invest in those around you.   "Those of us who have faith in Christ know that our finances aren't our own. Sometimes we don't translate that, and I've been guilty of this, over to the business side of things." —  Mike TowersAbout Mike Towers: Mike Towers is a dedicated professional, community leader, and servant-hearted individual who is committed to making a positive impact in the lives of his employees and the Lancaster community.

Born in 1924 in Baltimore, Maryland, Betty Cooke was a trailblazing designer celebrated for her minimalist and sculptural jewelry. Her work is defined by clean lines, geometric forms, and a timeless elegance that resonated across generations. After studying at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA), where she later became a beloved faculty member, Betty opened her own studio and eventually co-founded The Store Ltd., a Baltimore institution that showcased her work for over five decades. Her jewelry, often handcrafted in silver and gold with touches of wood or acrylic, is iconic for its simplicity and boldness—pieces that remain instantly recognizable as “Betty Cooke.” Cooke's influence is immortalized in museums, galleries, and in the collections of those fortunate enough to own her designs. Her legacy is one of innovation, elegance, and unwavering dedication to her craft.About Ellen Lupton:Ellen Lupton is one of the most influential voices in contemporary graphic design. Born in 1963, she is a celebrated designer, writer, curator, and educator whose work has profoundly shaped design education and practice. After graduating from Cooper Union in 1985, she became a curator at the Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum, where she curated groundbreaking exhibitions that connected design to culture and society. Ellen is perhaps best known for her book Thinking with Type, first published in 2004, which has become an essential guide for designers and is used in classrooms worldwide. Beyond her writing, she has played a pivotal role in shaping the Graphic Design MFA program at MICA, inspiring generations of designers with her innovative teaching methods. Her body of work extends to over 20 books, exploring topics from typography to storytelling in design. Ellen's contributions continue to influence how designers think, create, and communicate in today's visual world.Keep up with what Ellen Lupton's up to:Instagram  |  Website ____View all the visually rich 1-min reels of each woman on IG below:Instagram: Amber AsayInstagram: Women Designers Pod

BIO Mark Steven Porro, a New Jersey native (Exit 163), earned an Industrial Design degree from The Ohio State University.

Architect & designer Marc Thorpe spent his youth, just outside of Washington DC, drawing and learning to navigate a destabilizing home environment. The son of two academics, he learned discipline, rigor, and resilience from his mom, while his dad, a critical thinker, taught him to challenge and interrogate everything. Always knowing he'd be an artist, he studied Industrial Design and Architecture, and instinctively flexed his ability to seize every opportunity, as well as create them from scratch. Now, as the founder & principal of Marc Thorpe Design, a multidisciplinary studio, and (along with Claire Pijoulat) Edifice Upstate, a design & build architecture agency, he's worked with world-renowned designers, led groundbreaking projects, and is leading the charge toward more responsible architecture. And while he has always been certain he'd be a professional creative, it is uncertainty that is his greatest inspiration.Head to cleverpodcast.com for a transcript (with links!) of this episode, images, resources, and over 200+ more episodes!
