I’m Umi Lovecraft, a lecturer at the London College of Communication, where I’m building Responsible Design curricula into undergrad and post-grad Graphic Design Communication programmes. I’m also a lead member of ‘decosm’, a collective focused on decolonial city-making, and insider-outsider a non-profit bringing together architects, designers and social entrepreneurs on a mission to build the world we actually want to live in.
Goals for the PgCert
- Learning through Making: hands-on experimentation with materials and processes to foster creativity and “imagination infrastructure” but also deepen understandings of the social, ethical and environmental impacts of design.
- Decolonial education: embed decolonial practices within the curriculum.
- Professional growth: deepen my understanding of educational theories to improve student learning experiences. Get feedback to enable me to improve as an educator.
Through the PgCert, I aim to enrich my teaching methods and contribute to transformative education practices.
Follow our journey | At Umiversity, we’re committed to both creative exploration and responsible design consciousness. Through the PgCert program, I’m enhancing our curriculum to weave in these principles more deeply, preparing our students to be thoughtful designers in a complex world.
