This fall a group of students will be taking a brave step to discover and learn more about design and creative problem solving. For some this may their first time in an experential, active, studio class. This publication will be a collection their journey and reflections.

Taking a moment to reflect and think about how ideas evolve and develop feels both challenging and rewarding. I often find myself in the midst of “doing”, but when I pause and reflect isoften when important work takes place. Reflection is when I find myself asking new questions, discovering new areas to explore, inspiration and energy for the next thing.

Reflection comes in many forms. For me, this may mean taking an afternoon to wander and explore the city, ride my bike and explore nature or just find a spot in the park with a cup of coffee where I can watch the clouds while reflecting.
