Dear Katie,
Thank you so much for joining our Design Café last week and sharing your incredible insights with the students. Your session was not only eye-opening but truly inspiring. The way you framed creativity, thinking, and learning sparked meaningful reflection and dialogue, and I know it left a lasting impression on everyone in the class.
Thank you also for the resources you shared—The CREATE Method and the guide on deeper thinking. These will be excellent tools for our students to continue exploring their own approaches to design and learning.
I also want to extend a special thanks to Julieanne for connecting us. It was truly powerful to witness the bond between teacher and student—seeing your impact on Julieanne and how it has evolved into a collaborative friendship was one of the highlights of the session. What a beautiful example of what education can do.
We’re grateful for your time, your stories, and your passion. I hope we can continue this conversation in the future—our students (and I!) would love to learn more from you. Warm regards,
Evrim
