Working with graduate students with Keiichi Sato, she coordinated ID\u2019s PhD program in design. She was a proponent of human-centered design as well as collaborative and interdisciplinary team work. A generalist, she is a critical voice regarding design education and its future. She received two teaching awards, the Education Award from the Society of Typographic Arts and the Master Teacher Award from the Graphic Design Education Association. For 26 years, she edited and published <em>Visible Language<\/em>, an international, interdisciplinary journal that covered visual communication research and experimentation. She encouraged research and publication to deepen scholarship in design. A recent book review was \u201cA Book to Think With,\u201d covering Geoff Kaplan\u2019s <em>After the Bauhaus, Before the Internet<\/em>, based on the Yale conference of the same name (in <em>Visible Language<\/em> 57.2). \u201cWaste and Agency in the Digital Era: Who\u2019s in Charge?\u201d appeared in <em>She Ji: The Journal of Design, Economics, and Innovation, 6(3)<\/em>.
