The Designer in Residence will act as a catalyst for demonstrating design innovation in practice through their presence. The expectation is that they would be responsible for helping to secure and facilitate multiple challenge-based problem events in partnership with the DI Executive Director and DI GROUP. While on campus, the DIR will also be expected to engage in their own practice, which may be a design/studio directed activity but would ideally be at the intersection of disciplines in a manner that helps to illustrate the DI goals.
