Signal & Noise

Signal & Noise: Designing for Crisis Communication, is a curriculum that looks at how design shapes what gets heard and what gets lost during moments of chaos like public health emergencies, political unrest, and environmental disasters. It blends theory, case studies, and hands-on exercises to help designers think critically about urgency, ethics, misinformation, and emotional impact. The goal is to prepare students to use design as a tool for clarity, care, and responsibility when it matters most.
