I’ve been spending a lot of time back here lately. It’s my happiest place at work but somewhere I can’t get to like I used to could. More sawdust. More pencil. More sawdust. More pencil. 🛠️⚡️🤍⚡️🛠️
Congratulations to the @svapod Class of 2026!! It was an amazing day with colleagues, friends and new alumni. And an absolute dream come true to see that room from that angle. Donald Deskey— you have been blowing my mind since I was a small child. I can never get enough of this cathedral. What a place from which to launch 19 fledgling product designers out into the world. Godspeed my friends. Thank you for everything!! 🎓🎉🫂❤️🙏
Still beaming with pride and gratitude for the @svapod class of 2026 and the extraordinary work they did. I was beyond privileged to become acting chair of the department this year. Capping off my first semester on the job like this was beyond. All I can say is Thank You. 🎉🩷🏆
Congratulations to the @svapod class of 2026 on the successful completion of their thesis presentations. I am filled with gratitude toward them for their bravery and for their patience and welcome during our department’s leadership transition. And I am endlessly grateful toward my teacher, mentor and friend, @chochinov for getting all of us to this point today, both in our individual journeys and in our reach for greater agency and accountability as a species— by design! 🙏✒️🛠️🪡🧶💙🩷
