About this course:
Design and designers work at the intersections of many fields, and collaborations between fields and teams is essential for a designer to be successful. Working across disciplines and finding ways to collaborate are at the heart of powerful design solutions and solving design problems. In this class, students take on projects that require cross-disciplinary design approaches and working with people in fields that touch design, but are separate—animation, VR, technology for example—and the projects are curated each quarter to touch on current topics. Often they include collaboration across analog and digital technologies, disciplines that overlap designers including story-telling, technology, VR, and experience.
