End of the Semester Reflection

December 16, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

There is no part of the design thinking process I dislike more than the interviewing stage (called Empathy on my school's model). This is ironic, of course, because it becomes very difficult to do the rest of the process without this step and defeats the purpose of the process in general. I have long been … Continue reading End of the Semester Reflection

The Frazer Center

October 17, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

After my last post, everyone working on the Outdoor Classroom Mini-Design Brief was split up into smaller groups. We have one group working with Porsche, one with AT&T Foundry, one with the City of Sandy Springs, and now one with The Frazer Center: my group. The Frazer Center is a non-profit that helps adults with disabilities … Continue reading The Frazer Center

The Outdoor Classrooms

September 12, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

To start the year and ease us back into design briefs, the Innovation Diploma facilitators gave us a design brief for our school. We were to increase traffic and awareness of the outdoor classrooms behind the school. The result would hopefully prove to people that you can learn outside of a classroom and it doesn't … Continue reading The Outdoor Classrooms

Spaces, for Class and Work

March 21, 2016September 8, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

For today's 20/20, Anya and I read What Happens When Millennials Run the Workplace? I think that it's at least an interesting read, although it may not be my favorite. As someone who is starting to think about what I want to do with my life over the next 10 years, this article provided an explanation … Continue reading Spaces, for Class and Work

What have you learned about leadership?

March 18, 2016March 18, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / 1 Comment

BEFORE the week at Stanford’s d.school... I often saw teams being lead by one or two people, and the leaders often didn’t change. Sometimes one person was the leader for multiple projects, taking that role because no one else stepped up to lead.  I often heard people complain about the “bossy” leaders because they felt … Continue reading What have you learned about leadership?

Interviews and Insights

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

There's a project I've been working on for a few months now that I haven't written about yet because of many reasons, but mainly because I was having a hard time finding the words. Right now in Innovation Diploma, we're working with the developing company S.J. Collins enterprises to design an outdoor space in their new … Continue reading Interviews and Insights

January Joys: My Dad

January 31, 2016 / Katherine A. Jones / Leave a comment

An Open Letter To My Dad Dear Dad, Thank you. Thank you for changing my diapers when I was a baby, for feeding me when I was crying in the middle of the night, and for playing with me when you had a chance. Thank you for doing such a good job recording my growth … Continue reading January Joys: My Dad
