Thinking with Things

As our tools grow more intimate and invasive, understanding the patterns at play when artifacts and minds interact has never been more urgent. We routinely underestimate what seem like minor details, yet subtle shifts dramatically alter what follows. Drawing on two decades of designing learning spaces and digital experiences, this talk explores how physical spaces, digital interfaces, and even the simplest everyday tools actively nudge our thinking and how we might intentionally design interactions to shape it for the better.
