A weekened intensiveDesign Beyond Commerce
Design Beyond Commerce asks a simple question: what if design could help create more than things to buy?

This course is taught in partnership with the School of Radical Imagination.
Monthly community eventsShifting Together: our monthly practice space
About once a month, we connect virtually to explore one DesignShift together. This is an opportunity to bring some of the theory into practice as well as meet with others who are exploring similar things. In these community sessions, we explore thinking about, being with, and shaping the Shifts as a collective force.
Previous events
