Polymath Synthesizer

My thesis endeavours to redefine design pedagogy, departing from conventional pseudo-scientific methodologies. Inspired by the rich learning legacies of comedians, jazz musicians, and artists, this work culminated in an audiovisual archive and a collection of original writings, accessible in text, audio and video formats. The objective is to prompt designers to adopt a more inclusive approach, embracing diverse and unconventional knowledge sources. This research was conducted as part of my academic pursuit at the Ontario College of Art and Design University, Toronto.
