It Takes a Village…to raise a child.

All of us stepped into RISD as children, ready to learn, to find ourselves and our practices, ready to find our callings. The camaraderie and community we struggled to foster as first-year students while traversing the challenges of pandemic times were all the more cherished when we stepped into the nine floors of the Design Center.

Each floor holds a memory and marks a different part of our journeys as budding designers. The windows, walls, and doors that held together our home for the past three years as we continued to shift and evolve became our playground—a space to develop our personal toolkits, to find ourselves, and to map our trajectories forward.
