Welcome to 'How’d We Get Here?' A podcast series that attempts to uncover the intangible variables that impact us as students, educators, and professionals in the field of design.
Join me, Mark-Anthony Karam (@edtechxd) and my peers as we unpack the external factors that impact us as students, educators, and professionals in the field of design. My intention for this podcast is to understand what inspires and motivates my students and peers as designers and discuss how we might achieve our goals through prioritizing mental-health & wellness within our student/work-life and personal-lives. We'll explore topics such as the benefits of wellness for creativity, social-emotional learning, creating a culture of risk in design, education technology + more.
In our first pilot season my guest host and I—Graphic Designer, Nicola Hamilton (@nickydearest)—had online conversations with our Graphic Design Alumni from Humber College to discuss life as a design student and their transition into the industry. We'll discover the external factors that contributed to their success as well as its impact on their learning and mindset during their final graduating year.
Subscribe to the podcast and join our conversations as we discuss all things education and design with wellness in mind.
Sometimes I wonder… How'd I get here? How did I make it through the obstacles I've faced? Why did I choose my career path, and how did I become who I am today?
Welcome to How’d We Get Here? A podcast series that uncovers the intangible variables of everyday life that impact us as students, educators, and professionals in the field of design.
I’m Mark-Anthony Karam (@edtechxd), a design professor with a focus on education technology and experience design. In season 1, my guest host and I—Graphic Designer, Nicola Hamilton (@nickydearest)—had online conversations with our Graphic Design Alumni to discuss life as a design student and their transition into the industry.
We discussed the external factors that contributed to their success, as well as its impact on their learning and mindset during their final graduating year.
My intention for this series is to share my own experiences along with the perspectives of my students and peers. I want to understand how we might navigate through the ebbs and flows of becoming better educators and designers; both in and out of the classroom.
