    Jan Kubasiewicz on Teaching Design as a System of Meaning

    Our guest today is Jan Kubasiewicz, Professor of Design at Massachusetts College of Art and Design and one of the most influential figures in the development of dynamic media and motion design education. Born and educated in Poland, Jan has spent decades working at the intersection of visual language, time, information, and systems. He is the founder and long-time coordinator of the Dynamic Media Institute at MassArt, a programme that helped define how motion, interaction, and data could be taught as core design literacies rather than technical specialisms. Alongside his academic work, Jan’s practice spans exhibition making, research, and authorship, with his work exhibited internationally across Europe, the United States, and Asia.Beyond the classroom, Jan has played a crucial role in shaping design discourse through lectures, publications, and curatorial projects at institutions including Harvard University, where he serves as an affiliate of the Minda de Gunzburg Center for European Studies and curator of the Giedrojć Gallery. His writing on motion literacy, information design, and dynamic media pedagogy has become foundational reading for design educators worldwide. In this conversation, we explore how design functions as a language over time, why research is inseparable from practice, and what it means to educate designers for complexity, responsibility, and meaning in a world increasingly defined by motion and data.Since its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    Nikolaus Hafermaas - Berlin Unplugged: Design, Education, and the Courage to Disrupt

    Nikolaus Hafermaas is a designer, educator, artist, and lifelong experimenter whose career moves fluidly between practice and pedagogy, Europe and the United States, the analogue and the digital. A self-described classic car romantic and spirited driver, his work is grounded in physical experience, curiosity, and resistance to comfort—values that shape both how he designs and how he teaches.Growing up in Kassel, Hafermaas encountered art early as a source of awe rather than instruction. With a father who was an early computer engineer and a mother who worked as an illustration artist, his formative years unfolded between technology and craft. Childhood beach holidays spent building improvised objects from flotsam and jetsam laid the foundations for a mindset rooted in making, hacking, and learning by doing.At eighteen, he left Kassel for Berlin to study Visual Communication at UdK, choosing breadth over specialisation at a time when design education favoured narrow paths. Alongside his studies, he became a partner at the emerging agency Triad Berlin, later working on cultural exhibitions, expo pavilions, and large-scale brand experiences for institutions and global companies. These spatial and narrative projects informed his conviction that graphic design cannot be confined to surfaces or screens.Teaching emerged organically through talks, workshops, and his involvement in Berlin’s Young Creative Industries during the city’s “poor but sexy” era. In 2002, he became a professor in Bremen, embracing an integrated design approach shaped by trial, error, and what he calls productive ignorance. This trajectory culminated at ArtCenter College of Design, where he reimagined the Graphic Design programme as Transmedia Design, an education in orchestrating graphics, motion, interaction and space into holistic experiences.Across institutions in Europe, the U.S., and Mexico, Hafermaas has championed fearlessness, collaboration, and critical engagement with technology. He challenges students to leave their comfort zones, distrust convenience, and resist tools that promise speed without depth. For him, design education is not about producing specialists for a market, but designers able to navigate complexity, uncertainty, and responsibility with courage and empathy.A mentor who insists that experimentation and play are necessities rather than luxuries, Nikolaus Hafermaas continues to push design education beyond screens, silos, and safe answers, toward learning that remains restless, human, and alive.Since its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    The Future of Learning with Christian Dominique: AI, Neuroscience and the Art of Wellness in Education

    Christian Dominique, co-founder of Digital Wellness and trained neuroscientist from McGill University, is on a mission to redesign education systems that have forgotten how to cultivate joy. In this compelling episode of Design Education Talks, Dominique reveals a startling statistic: adults laugh and smile more than ten times less than children, and traces this "domestication" directly to outdated educational models that prioritise compliance over creativity. Drawing on cutting-edge neuroscience, practical philosophy, and design thinking, he shares frameworks for building happiness at individual, relational, and communal levels, while offering a candid assessment of where educational innovation is thriving and where it's stagnating. Dominique also previews his pipeline of specialised AI wellness tools, including an education-focused platform launching in summer 2025. Whether you're an educator, designer, administrator, or simply someone who believes schools should inspire anticipation rather than dread, this wide-ranging conversation will challenge your assumptions about what's possible when we design learning environments with human flourishing at the centre. Listen now to discover why play isn't frivolous, why art and design must remain connected, and how removing systemic blockers can help students, and all of us, rediscover the inherent joy of being alive and learning.Since its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    The Second Mountain: John McFaul’s Search for Purpose in Design

    Today on Design Education Talks, we’re joined by John McFaul , Executive Creative Director, Brand Consultant, Educator, and one of those rare, restless creatives who has never quite fitted into the neat boxes the world tries to offer. From the Wirral to New York, from art school misfit to brand visionary, John's career is a vivid testament to curiosity, risk-taking, and cultural immersion.He began his journey believing he was a failure for choosing Art & Design over Oxford or Cambridge , until his foundation year transformed everything. Since then, John’s path has included studying at Kingston, a brief stint at Central Saint Martins, and pioneering the early fusion of illustration, digital tools and boundary-breaking design. He co-founded Black Convoy, then launched McFaulStudio, working with clients like Nike, Levi’s, New Balance, Brand Jordan, and more , often blending art, fashion, photography, and culture into truly genre-defying work.After closing McFaul-Day in 2024, having led a decade-long partnership with New Balance and other major lifestyle brands, John now finds himself at a turning point , what he calls the “Second Mountain.” Diagnosed with ADHD and fuelled by a desire to create work with more purpose and community impact, he is exploring new models of creative leadership and education.In the classroom, John is known for bringing raw honesty, boundless cultural insight, and a powerful message: that creativity is messy, emotional, and deeply human. He speaks openly about failure, process, and the dangers of marketised education, and he champions a design education rooted in risk, curiosity, and authenticity.Whether consulting global brands or inspiring the next generation, John McFaul remains a passionate advocate for creative freedom, experimentation, and meaningful cultural engagement.Welcome, John.Support the showSince its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    Zines, Books, and Beyond: The Practice of Jac Batey

    I run MA illustration and teach on BA illustration. Also supervise practice-based PhDs. Specialism is in illustration/artistbooks/zines and teaching. My own creative practice is mostly as in artists book /artzines and as an artist. I work both digitally and also with real materials like drawing, collage and print. I think social awareness and research skills are an important part of teaching illustration. I initiated and curate the UoP Artzine collection Zineopolis, this is a research hub and a collection of over 500 artzines from lots of countries and makers. I include student zines as well. This resource is used for teaching (we have zine modules) but also to generate staff research both in conceptualising and disseminating.

    Costume as Sculpture: The Worlds of Gwen van den Eijnde

    Gwen van den Eijnde is a French–Dutch artist and costume designer based in the United States. For the past decade, he has been teaching apparel design at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD) in Providence, where he currently serves as Head of Programme.While pursuing his artistic research at the École Supérieure des Arts Décoratifs in Strasbourg, he began creating costumes as sculptural works. His practice explores how the act of wearing a costume can transform one’s presence in space. Through performances, installations, and photography, he has constructed visual worlds and atmospheres in which the costumes form part of a complete scenography. His performances have taken place internationally—in artist residencies, museums, schools, festivals, theatres, and workshops—often in collaboration with practitioners from a wide range of disciplines.In 2011, he led a workshop in the fashion department of the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where he introduced students to his interest in Polish traditional dress. This experience marked the beginning of his teaching career. He later taught textile design at the Haute École des Arts du Rhin in Mulhouse (France) and has carried out creative research for fashion houses including Hermès and Tiffany & Co.In 2022 and again in 2024, he designed costumes for chamber operas produced by the Boston Early Music Festival: L’Idylle sur la Paix by Jean-Baptiste Lully, La Fête de Rueil by Marc-Antoine Charpentier, and Don Quichotte auf der Hochzeit des Comacho by Georg Philipp Telemann. Continuing to expand his research into folk and historical dress, material culture, and embroidery techniques, van den Eijnde will take part in a major group exhibition on eighteenth-century fashion and its contemporary legacy in Paris in 2026.👉 www.gvde.netSince its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    Design Education Talks: Brian Grimwood - The Illustrator Who Rewrote the Rules

    As an illustration educator, few figures stand out as boldly, and as impactfully, as Brian Grimwood. His work is not merely a reflection of evolving visual trends; it is a catalyst for change that helped define what modern illustration could become.In an era when hyper-realistic, tightly controlled imagery dominated the commercial landscape, Grimwood dared to introduce a freer, more expressive line, loose, lyrical, and unmistakably human. Emerging in the 1970s, Grimwood’s early illustrations marked a radical departure from the status quo. His influences ranged from Chinese brush painting to jazz improvisation, and this breadth of reference infused his work with a spontaneity that felt both fresh and fearless.It’s no exaggeration to say that Brian Grimwood didn’t just break the rules, he rewrote them, making space for a new kind of illustrative voice: emotional, intuitive, and full of personality.His work is invaluable for teaching students about the importance of authorship in illustration. Brian’s style is instantly recognisable, yet it continually evolves, a powerful lesson in the value of experimentation over stagnation. He reminds us that technical skill is only part of the equation; the rest is vision, energy, and the willingness to take risks.Brian Grimwood's impact, however, extends far beyond the page. In 1983, he co-founded The Central Illustration Agency (CIA), a visionary move that professionalised the role of the illustrator and gave artists greater control over their careers.CIA was not just an agency, it was a platform that challenged exploitative norms and advocated for illustrators as creative equals in the commercial process. For educators and students alike, CIA's history offers a compelling narrative about the power of creative entrepreneurship and community.His collaborations with global clients, Apple, the Beatles, The New Yorker, British Airways, Saatchi & Saatchi, among many others, prove that expressive, idiosyncratic work can succeed at the highest levels of commercial design. He navigated the often-precarious intersection of art and commerce without compromise, a feat that continues to inspire.As a teacher, I often return to Grimwood when introducing students to the concept of visual voice. His work defies categorisation, equal parts fine art, editorial design, advertising, and storytelling and it speaks to the enduring power of drawing as a personal and political act. His legacy lies not only in his prolific output but in the doorshe opened for the generations that folSince its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.

    Design Education Insights: A Conversation with Ingmar Thies

    Get in touch!Born and raised in Hamburg, Germany, Sven Ingmar Thies studied graphic design at Braunschweig University of Art and completed his final thesis in Tokyo and Yokohama.  Since his time at university, he has focused on a holistic design approach that seamlessly connects to other design disciplines, other specialist areas or even to handicrafts. This conviction was intensified further by two professional engagements at Henrion, Ludlow & Schmidt in London, where brands were holistically developed, and at Kitayama Institute in Tokyo, where he learnt about the interplay between architecture and design during a two-year postgraduate scholarship.  Besides being involved in project-related work for brand agencies Landor (today, Landor & Fitch) and Enterprise IG (today, Superunion), he founded Thies Design in 1998, which develops tailored brand experiences for enterprises and institutions (www.thiesdesign.com). In addition to his professional activities, Sven Ingmar Thies has taught graphic design at the University of Applied Arts Vienna’s “Class of Ideas” since 2011. He is author and editor of the book “Teaching Graphic Design”.

    Ep. 91 - Bradford Hansen-Smith - Observations and reflections

    We recommend that you go over to our youtube channel and watch this particular episode.This is the 4th and final episode in the series. Brad talks more in-depth about his work and how he took his work to the 3d dimension and beyond.Bradford Hansen-Smith spent the first half of his life as a sculptor; then it changed. Inspired by the work of Buckminster Fuller he took ten years to educate himself in geometry and math seeing that it all goes back to the image we draw of the circle. The next thirty-two years he has been exploring folding circles with people interested. Without any degree, and no certification, he taught folding circles in and out of classrooms, from first grade through college level, working with teachers, presenting internationally a new approach to geometry and mathematics, a new way to do and think about what we do. During that time, he has written seven books and has published papers on folding circles.He calls this approach Wholemovement, folding the circle for information. It is comprehensive through the hand-on experience of folding the circle as unity and observing what is revealed. This is about the transforming changes of order and organization all in one place; nothing is added or taken away. Information is not constructed or put into the circle. Through a principled sequence of folding, observing, and reforming, the directives for the process are inherent to unity in the circle, it is whole. Folding the circle demonstrates spherical unity beyond all other shapes and forms. It is about learning to see what is not seen, attending to what we do, and to use what is revealed to discover what we do not know. This provides any folder with experience to know circles are not what we are told they are, they are so much more: as it is with most information we are given.

    Design Education Talks ep. 66 - Bradford Hansen-Smith

    Bradford Hansen-Smith spent the first half of his life as a sculptor; then it changed. Inspired by the work of Buckminster Fuller he took ten years to educate himself in geometry and math seeing that it all goes back to the image we draw of the circle. The next thirty-two years he has been exploring folding circles with people interested. Without any degree, and no certification, he taught folding circles in and out of classrooms, from first grade through college level, working with teachers, presenting internationally a new approach to geometry and mathematics, a new way to do and think about what we do. During that time, he has written seven books and has published papers on folding circles.He calls this approach Wholemovement, folding the circle for information. It is comprehensive through the hand-on experience of folding the circle as unity and observing what is revealed. This is about the transforming changes of order and organization all in one place; nothing is added or taken away. Information is not constructed or put into the circle. Through a principled sequence of folding, observing, and reforming, the directives for the process are inherent to unity in the circle, it is whole. Folding the circle demonstrates spherical unity beyond all other shapes and forms. It is about learning to see what is not seen, attending to what we do, and to use what is revealed to discover what we do not know. This provides any folder with experience to know circles are not what we are told they are, they are so much more: as it is with most information we are given.  His work can be found at;  https://www.wholemovement.com/https:// www.facebook.com/wholemovementSupport the showSince its inception in 2019, Design Education Talks podcast has served as a dynamic platform for the exchange of insights and ideas within the realm of art and design education.
