Overview
In this class, you'll use the joy as the tool to build your design practice.
Through this course, we will explore what it means to center joy in design processes, spaces, systems, and experiences. We’ll do this by parsing Joy through four lenses: Understanding, Ritual, Boundary and Connection.
The course integrates each students’ relationship to joy and joyful practice within themselves. You can expect to hear from joy experts and converts, newbies and seasoned designers, as we all explore what it means to use joy as a tool to design a better world. You (yes, you!) will be both student and teacher.
All students welcome, especially folks who do not consider themselves joyful. :)
