“It’s hard for us as designers, but I think that’s part of the greatest challenge is to figure out what is best for each solution to fit all of the people that are going to experience it.” Rebekah Matheny
Their conversation navigates the fundamental strategies behind teaching design, focusing on the tools in the symbiotic relationship between words and design strategy. In design education, this follows a gradual immersion serving as a springboard for students to employ these tools according to personal preferences or workplace demands.
