About the store
I love teaching Design. Drawing, sketching, modeling, 3D printing, video production, building, constructing, manufacturing, writing and producing anything and everything. I taught Architecture, Engineering, Graphic Design, Video Production, Electronics, Materials & Processes and Robotics over the last 26 years. I learn by doing. I have worked in construction and developed as a CAD operator and graphic designer. I have shadowed in engineering and industrial design. I attended architecture school for two years and successfully ran two web-based companies for 5+ years each. In 2006, I developed and established The Design Academy, and have taught Design Thinking to thousands of productive designers. We also have exciting new lessons every year.
