What is my design
Vision
In the era of technology, I challenge passive learning norms by rejecting the exclusive dependence on digital interfaces. I advocate for a broader interpretation of 'learning', extending beyond traditional education. In fact, utilizing tangible and visual sense-making is vital in this context. I believe the designer's creative mindset, applicable beyond the domain of design, can be foundational in the understanding of abstract concepts, fostering collaborative sense-making for a multi-perspective view.
