This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Robyn treats teaching like a musical gig. Teaching Design Thinking in her own way through rediscovering lost mediums with her students, she encourages people to re-frame what they think they know.

Robyn Richardson was born and raised in West Palm Beach, Florida and is happiest with her toes in the water - to date, they have splashed through many oceans, seas and rivers around the world. A former high school English teacher and routine musical maven, she is certain that the best things in life are both entertaining and educational. Her life's mission is to leverage design to create amazing things (stories, objects, music, movies, installations) that magically engage and overtly delight you. She loves playing connect-the-dots (the live version) and enjoys existential sleuthing. Ask her a question at rorich@mac.com.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
