Conversation with Dr. Greg Walsh
We had a fascinating conversation with Dr. Greg Walsh today. He is Director of the University of Baltimore’s Center for Digital Communication, Commerce, and Culture. We first had contact with Dr. Walsh seven years ago when he introduced our students to design concepts at a program at the Reginald Lewis Museum. Co-design is an approach to design that includes the users and those affected in the process. Dr. Walsh promotes the inclusion of people traditionally not included in the design process when products and programs are developed such as lower income and people of color. He shared his philosophy and illustrated it with examples to further our understanding.
The students were keenly interested in his work and the tools he uses. We are exploring with Dr. Walsh the opportunities for working together in the next school year. Thank you for sharing your time and ideas with us, Dr. Walsh.
