Roots of GU experience: Davis Center (on/offstage), TPST Classes
What’s the Davis Center’s lasting impact on your current values and work? It comes up everyday! The cross-disciplinary education (specifically design thinking and production process) that I received through the Davis Center and TPST program is ever-present. I can chart every professional experience I have had back to my experiences there.
What are your most important skills you learned in the Davis Center? The fusion of critical and creative inquiry is the perfect summation! Collaboration was everywhere, and I learned a dedication to excellence and quality.
What are some professional highlights? Having the opportunity to design a children’s museum from the ground up! The strategic planning, creative problem solving and communication skills, team management of creatives, and pure exposure to production craft were all directly related to my experience with TPST.
