This is a collection of all the assignments and projects from my first semester Design Methods class in the Creative Technology and Design Masters program at CU Boulder. This class, taught by Joel Swanson, explored the assumptions, biases, and ideologies behind various design disciplines in order to develop a more expansive, critical, and empathetic approach to design. Here are my solutions to the weekly design challenges that delve into a certain design concept. Team members are specified in all group projects.
