Take a glimpse into a year at the d.school.
"This year brought a new level of electrifying charge at the d.school. I almost mean that literally – walking through our building you can feel a tangible, creative humming like there might be a live wire close by.
"Our new degree programs continued to take shape, and students really took notice. We built new tools for learning, and built out ideas that have been steadily simmering and are now ready to publish. We created space for imagination, and spaces for connection. The vitality of the place and the people who make it real every day is practically sparking off these pages! I hope exploring this yearbook ignites something for you, too."–Sarah Stein Greenberg, Executive Director

Introducing the Four Pillars of Design
We’ve identified four interconnected pillars of design to help guide the mission of the d.school: Make, Care, Adapt, Spark. These shared principles are one of the tools we’re using to build a design program for the future. They’re featured throughout these pages.
