“Keith’s lecture was informative, engaging, and educational. The material was presented at the right level for my third-year students.

He didn’t bore students with too many technical details, but put materials in a global context with his observations from international exhibitions. His coverage of projects created by students and young designers from around the world helped bring students into the conversation. 

Kenn kept the class tuned in, and handled students’ questions well.”
