Dr. Angie Scott’s superpower is her unique ability to filter culture through the lens of design. Her outcomes are original and impactful. She observes and imagines the world in a unique and socially relevant way. She puts her PhD to good use, leveraging research, science, and empathy. If everyone worked as smart as Dr. Scott, the phrase “design impacts lives” would have multiple new layers of meaning.
