“After a meeting of the minds with renown psychologist Albert Bandura, David Kelley sketched out his philosophy of design thinking education. He outlines the details in depth in his book Creative Confidence and in his 2012 TED talk.
“This poster presents a summary of that philosophy. Prepared for a talk and painted by hand in David's home studio, it is a map of the d.school pedagogy and a high-level treatise on how to unlock creative confidence in his students.
“David describes it like this: ‘The core trait that holds people back is fear: fear of failure, fear of being judged.
