For Educators
TO TEACHERS VISITING THIS SITE
My aim is to make Design by Nature as accessible and useful in your classroom as it is in mine. To that end you will find tools and classroom supports free for your use. This area will be periodically updated with additional teaching supports as they are developed.
EXAM COPIES OF DESIGN BY NATURE
For educators interested in an exam copy of the book please email your name, the department, and shipping address for your school.
SYLLABUS
A semester syllabus with the flex to fit your classroom needs.
ADDITIONAL EXERCISES
Design by Nature has exercises developed throughout the book to support the concepts presented in each chapter and support student exploration and critical thinking. As new exercises, homework, or projects are developed, they will be added.
SLIDE ASSETS
Some of the more complex (or just plain fun) concepts in Design by Nature are illustrated as pdf slides that can be presented as Keynote or Powerpoint discussions.
For Designers and Students

Explore the concepts of Design by Nature, develop your critical thinking and critiquing skills, and connect with the international design community through your work based in nature’s principles, common to a worldwide audience.
