A big thank you to Gensler for hosting our DYW students! - Maria Hurtado from Mannington Commercial, joined for a fun and interactive presentation with exploration of samples, learning about production processes, customization, material functions, and the importance of considering these factors in the world of design. Thank you for energizing our students! - All students were then given their at-home design activities for preparation to be in the studio this week with Miami design educator Kenzie Leon Perry.
