Today, we’re getting to the root of design education - how we learn to solve problems, mix functionality with aesthetic, and create original ideas using nothing but the fundamentals.
We’re joined by Jonathan Williams, a DDes Student and educator working in New York. Jonathan is currently researching how something as simple as tying a knot can transform how we approach design from an early age.
Whether you’re creating something as intricate as a Celtic knot, or just tying your shoe laces - Jonathan believes that a single piece of string can a powerful lesson in designing with intention.
We will also be talking about the concept of object-based learning, and the challenges of tactile teaching in a digital space.
