Many times, we’ve been asked by beginners and experts alike how we got our start in “design”. In response to these requests, we created this collection to help our community understand the source code of our real-time research.

Thinking beyond the “Syllabus” as academia’s contract, our intent is to provide first-time visitors with a field guide for personal practice. These are the very early bread crumbs for our own.
