Studio Management
Taught by Courtney Spencer
In-Person | Wednesdays, from 12:00-5:00 PM
Open to D&I Students

Course Overview: Studio Management is the business side of design: how to price your work, write a proposal, manage a project, read a contract, and talk about what you do with confidence. It’s a writing-intensive course, because most of the business of design happens in writing: emails, proposals, about statements, creative briefs, and LinkedIn. Along the way, we’ll cover picking a niche, work/life balance, networking, collaboration and delegation, RFPs, finances and accounting, contracts and legal basics, and preparing files for print and digital. You’ll also meet working designers through guest lectures and studio visits around Philadelphia. At the end of the semester, you will have designed a business handbook, a polished elevator pitch and about statement, a reusable proposal template, and real connections with working designers.

Special Topics: Design Futures Lab
Taught by Abby Guido
In-Person | Thursdays, from 12:00-5:00 PM
Open to D&I Students

Course Overview: AI is changing fast, and we’re all still learning, students and faculty
alike. This is a lab where we explore the tools together and each build our own approach to using AI. Through design sprints and challenges, some quick and some spanning a few weeks, you’ll use AI through every stage of the design process, from research to prototyping to user testing. You’ll also hear from a wide range of creative professionals about how they’re using AI in their work. Major projects include a vibe-coded journal that tracks what you learn from speakers, readings, and new tools, and a 0 to 1 project where you identify a problem in your own life and use AI to build a solution. Along the way you’ll define your own responsibility framework for when to use AI and how to talk about it with clients and teams. No coding experience needed.

Today our Design Play students from Abby Ryan Design class opened the doors to their first playtest with guests. Students, faculty, and staff sat down for an hour of games built from scratch, then gave honest, specific feedback to help the designers make them better. Thanks to everyone who participated! We’re excited to move on to the design phase and invite everyone back for our official game night in the spring.
