Working with design clients: Tools and advice for successful partnerships

I collaborated with Meaghan Dee, Associate Professor at Virginia Tech University, on a textbook about client-based experiential education in design curricula. Working with design clients: Tools and advice for successful partnerships is a practical guide to help design students and educators manage and operate student-run design firms in higher education and will be published by Bloomsbury in October 2024.

Working with design clients will help instructors implement actionable, tangible tools to create sustainable, robust experiential learning opportunities that are embedded with inclusive, antiracist pedagogy. How might we empower all students in their transition to practice?
