For this episode of Design Cast, I had the pleasure of connecting with Christin Mohammed King. Christin is a former colleague with so much value to add to any organization. Her perspective on her recent experience in an all-boys school is incredibly insightful. We discussed her experience working with boys in several different contexts and what she learned from them.
I do want to mention that we discuss a tragic event in her school and how it affected the boys. This is a very sensitive topic, and if you are sensitive to hearing about trauma, I would suggest starting to listen to the episode at around the 10 or 12-minute mark. While we are respectful and do not make light of this event, it is a sensitive topic.
It is my sincere hope that you will find value in our discussion and will share this with your networks and reach out to continue the conversation with me and other listeners! Please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with Christin Mohammed King.

On this episode of Design Cast, I had the terrific honor of speaking to Ryan Ford. Ryan is a 25-year veteran of digital design. He has been fortunate enough to lead design at some of the internet’s most interesting destinations: DeviantArt, Crunchyroll, chime, vida health, and now Crackle & Redbox (where he is working to revitalize these brands).
His background in the industry motivated him to share thinking around topics like leadership, career paths, and (most notably of late) the design process itself. Ryan’s “Design Odyssey” framework topic has been read over 80,000 times as of December 2022 and has led to big reactions: global outreach from educators who want to teach it in their classes, book opportunities, and a TEDx Salon conversation that occurred in early January 2023.
We had a wonderful discussion and I am sure that you will find some value in many of the topics that we cover. Now let us set fire to the design process and use Design Cast as a catalyst! Enjoy!

On this episode of Design Cast, I was lucky enough to talk to Joshua Stamper. Josh initially used his artistic talent, creativity, and original ideas as a professional graphic designer. He then transitioned to inspiring students to utilize their imagination and creative expression in public education. Being unsuccessful as a student growing up, Josh never expected to be back in the classroom as a teacher, athletic coach, or administrator. His struggles as a student spawned a passion to change the education model, push the boundaries of traditional learning, and explore new innovative ideas. Josh has been a middle school Assistant Principal in North Texas for the past eight years, where he's served at four campuses in two school districts.
In addition to his current administrative position, Joshua is the host of Aspire: The Leadership Development Podcast, author of a new book, leadership coach, education presenter, and Podcast Network Manager for the Teach Better Team.

Britney Vickery is founder and CEO of Initials, Inc. As a new mom, Britney was just searching for someone who could put her son’s name on his diaper bag. After weeks of searching in her local community, her husband Darren suggested a simple but life-changing idea: “Why don’t you do it?” Struggling to find her purpose as a stay-at-home mom, and eager to make a financial contribution, Britney dove in!
Armed with a spare bedroom and a 6-foot folding table, she invested in her first embroidery machine and started monogramming anything that wasn’t moving. Soon, she was taking orders from friends and neighbors (many who wanted to sell the products themselves!) and began to see that this little spare bedroom boutique could become SO MUCH MORE. 15 years later, Initials, Inc. is a nationally-recognized brand with thousands of Creative Partners in all 50 states, founded on the simple, but life-changing idea that we all should be provided with the opportunity to HAVE FUN! And MAKE MONEY!
Britney recommends reading: "Strengths Finder 2.0" by Tom Rath
Our conversation is really spirited and she shares her secrets of success and offers advice for educators working with students that are demonstrating “entrepreneurial spirit.” You do not want to miss this one!

On this episode of Design Cast I had the awesome chance to chat with Dr. Sabba Quidwai. Sabba believes that cultures of innovation begin with a culture of empathy. She works with leaders to integrate design thinking practices that encourage creativity, recognize accomplishments, build trust and inspire a collective vision. In 2018, the World Economic Forum identified Leadership and Social Influence as a trending skill. Sabba shares how building social influence across social media platforms can empower leaders as role models for the beliefs and values they want to see others adopt as they believe that their audience is able to rise to the occasion.
As a graduate of the Global Executive EdD program at the University of Southern California, Sabba’s research focus is how design thinking can prepare individuals with the mindset and skills to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Her work is driven by a quote from William Gibson, "The future is here. It just isn't evenly distributed."
Sabba hosts a podcast, “Sprint to Success with Design Thinking,” where she interviews researchers and practitioners about their stories and strategies for navigating change with design thinking and thriving in today’s world.

Designer by trade, Ashton later discovered that he enjoyed teaching. Like so many of my guests, he started down one path and somewhere along the way switched over to teaching Design. We talk about his school, students and projects he is working on. Two points of interest to look out for are the way he is able to try out high-end 3D printers and the project he is wanting to do with bicycles! So be on the lookout for that!

On this episode of Design Cast I had the pleasure of speaking to Mr. Jon Halligan. He has held multiple roles from teacher to school leadership. Jon worked in multiple education institutions from primary to tertiary, state and private, from the UK to the UAE. For the last 5 years, Jon worked as the Head of Development & Recognition for the IBO in The Hague. Jon has several startup projects that he is currently working on and we talk about those in this episode.
A lot of what we talked about dealt with the IB Career-related Programme or CP. We have a lively discussion around the components of the CP and how schools can get started implementing the programme. Jon also talks about his new start-up projects and they are VIE education which is the company that is setting up two different international schools in Switzerland which are going to be CP only schools!
I am currently the CP coordinator at my school and I see tremendous opportunities with ‘Personal Design Pathways’ for schools all over the world. This conversation with Jon only confirmed my philosophy further! I hope that you can see the possibilities for the design programs in your schools!!!

I have known Craig for a while; however, we have collaborated together on several podcast and livestream events in the last 6 months. His work with VR is commendable and trendsetting.

In this episode of Design Cast I had the pleasure of speaking with Mr. Suhail Khan. Mr. Khan is a relatively new teacher to the profession, but has lots of experience beyond time in the classroom. We talk about a range of topics, but what was most interesting about our chat was the time spent talking about how he has used Food Design as a service activity in Pune, India. I am sure that you will all enjoy listening to it as much as did speaking with him about it.

On this episode of Design Cast, I chat with my long time colleague and friend, David Ardley. Dave and I met in the summer of 2006 when he was the workshop leader of a DP Design Technology course that I participated in. The training was amazing and we have kept in touch and collaborated ever since! Our friendship is another reason why the ‘design’ education field globally is such an awesome opportunity to be active.
In this chat, Dave and I discuss a whole range of topics, but as the discussion moves on the theme of ‘value added education’ emerges. This is a very valuable concept for school to consider and to take into account when planning for short and long term goals. We would love to hear from you on this topic! Please reach out in either the comment section of Anchor or through my website www.jasonreagin.ga

We discussed a whole host of things, but most importantly, Terry was able to lend insight into how senior leaders in a school plan for the implementation of teaching and learning in a school. He also shared his perceptions of how outsiders might see a "design" program in a school. He gives some suggestions to making your design program shine!
