Hi Everyone!

I’m Susan, an industrial designer and professor orginally from San Francisco, now residing in South Goa. I’ve been living and working in India for over six years, and I consider it home. My most recent project explores the world around us through a cross-cultural lens, featuring the things that generally go unnoticed, everyday objects and behaviors that are the result of local aesthetics, behaviors, and needs. I’m an oldie… with over twenty years of teaching in higher education, I still hope to inspire future designers and makers to create positive social impact through their work. I’m super happy to be here, the first two lectures have been wonderful and I look foward to seeing how this course unfolds!

Thank you.
