Teaching and Mentorship
Ian gives talks about design methodology and runs workshops teaching design tools like Figma. You can find him giving advice and mentoring students via Out of Office Hours.
I’m a big believer in the benefits of mentorship and giving back to the design community. When I teach, I'm forced to break down complex ideas into simpler more digestable concepts. Not only is it good for the design community, but it also strengthens my own understanding of the subject.
