Rafe Steinhauer is a design educator and a designer. Currently he is a visiting assistant professor at Thayer School of Engineering at Dartmouth, but he has also been a visiting assistant professor with the Phyllis M. Taylor Center for Social Innovation and Design Thinking at Tulane University in New Orleans and a lecturer at Princeton University. Introduced to design thinking in his graduate studies, Rafe has incorporated it into his classes to help his students experience the type of growth he had when he first learned about design thinking. Design educator is not the only role Rafe plays though; community design work has created opportunities for him to step into the role of designer where he can work with communities to create programs that resonate with the needs and wants of those community members.       Connect with Rafe Steinhauer:  LinkedIn 

In this first ever episode of the Hello from The Pluriverse Podcast, we interview Tanya Marie Williams-Rhule, an independent designer and brand consultant and the executive Designer of Designer Island, an online publication curating contemporary Caribbean culture. To Tanya Marie, design is so much more than designing for the project and the need, it is about communicating and listening.  Born and raised in Trinidad and Tobago, Tanya Marie's identity is not only rooted in her upbringing in the Caribbean but also the work she does to explore the "Caribbean aesthetic" and expand it past the limited definitions it has been given; she seeks to expand and explore the diversity of Caribbean creators through her work.
