Design Thinking for all, across sectors.

Outreach, teaching and research.
Changing the status quo while having fun with human creativity

Ideologues kill innovation. Innovators seek out difficult questions, while ideologues hate questions, since they already have the answer.

We will all soon learn that running a country is not like running a company. The latter accepts dictators; the former does not.

The lack of the Trump Administration's addressing the millions of people who have turned out today around the world is a lack of leadership!

I teach architectural ethics and often use Trump as an example of unethical practice. Cooperating with him is morally bankrupt. #NotMyAIA

[UofM DesignThinking @UofMDesignThink]

Ask architects about Donald Trump, who ignored contractual obligations and used lawyers to intimidate people. The most unethical developer!

Peaceful civil disobedience becomes a patriotic duty in an uncivil society. He may become president, but he will never be my president.

The worst thing we can do right now is act like everything will be normal, when we face one of the greatest dangers in our history: fascism.

[UofM DesignThinking @UofMDesignThink]

People cannot create in an atmosphere of fear and yet fear of the future was what propelled Trump to office - while making us all fearful.

Ideology kills innovation by thinking it has the answer before it even knows the question. America just voted in 4 years of anti-innovation!

The German Jews who had an exit strategy in the 1930's and early 40's survived. Those who didn't, didn't. What will your exit strategy be?

[UofM DesignThinking @UofMDesignThink]

Germans in the 1930's did the same thing, voted in an unstable personal and told themselves he wouldn't do what he said ... until he did.

Having a mentally ill president, with a narcissistic personality disorder, is not normal ... nor is it wise.

[UofM DesignThinking @UofMDesignThink]

I voted for the candidate who got the most votes. Isn't it odd that she, like Gore, won't be the next president?
