Our guest today is the Director of the Lower School Design Thinking program at an independent (private) school. She breaks down her current work, including what is design thinking, and how she teaches it as methodology to exercise agency to young children. She also takes us back into her past careers after she graduated art college in New York in the communications and graphic design program through her work as an animator, editor at children’s publications and an art teacher. A proud Brazilian, she speaks about her experience living there as an adult and how the cultural influences intersect with that of the United States.
