I can’t wait! My dream job is soon within reach and I’m so eager to get to a school and finally become a design teacher.

During my degree project, my goal was to get an understanding of what design in school means today. To do so, I have talked to practicing design teachers, visited classes and read the design curriculum. The paper concludes with a critical discourse analysis and a curriculum theory for my result.

The conversations with design teachers were the starting point for my work that is displayed in Konstfack’s Degree Exhibition 2025. This is not the end of my work with the curriculum. This is only the beginning.
