“Everyone on the team was so responsive and excited about this design challenge while also handling their own rigorous course loads. I loved learning with the team about service design and sharing best practices for design thinking, ideation, and storytelling. The depth and breadth of research the team pursued were beyond impressive and really shone through in the strength of their final solution.”
