A two-week course in Barcelona exploring design for public space through the lenses of design-thinking, interdisciplinary practice, and technology-assisted systems, with an emphasis on public health, wellness, and environmental sustainability. The final project was an imagined public intervention to drive positive behavioral change within Barcelona's urban context.

Inspired by Chindōgu and critical design, this course explored design as a tool for inquiry and critique through short exercises that deliberately broke design rules. Projects were positioned within frameworks of speculative design and dark patterns, culminating in a symposium presenting the work as design research revealing what "bad" design can teach about professional practice.

A collaborative exploration of design-centered archives, focused on enhancing documentation methods while examining questions of who determines what is archived, what should be preserved, and why.

An examination of visual identity as a historically specific design project, considered alongside critical theories of gender, race, disability, and capitalism. The course explored visual identity both as a set of aesthetic forms bound up in reproducing existing social relations, and as a speculative prototype for new ones.

A preliminary exploration of the history, practice, and theory of exhibition design, with a focus on design exhibitions, grounded in case studies, conversations with curators, designers, and scholars, and visits to local institutions.

An advanced investigation into a subject of personal interest through historical and contemporary design methodologies, building self-directed practice and critical vocabulary to articulate design work.

A semester-long project grounding design decisions in research and validation.

Digital Media Design III explored narrative storytelling through motion, guiding the design process from concept and research through experimentation and refinement to a final animated sequence produced in Adobe After Effects.

An examination of the systemic properties of typography and visual order across mediums, covering micro and macro typographic patterns, proportional relationships of form and content, typographic grids, and codification of type standards, with production in both print and digital applications.

An introduction to the aesthetics and mechanics of typographic form and usage, covering the typographic measurement system, recognition and classification of type, and principles of alignment, hierarchy, and legibility.
