As @ncstatedesignlab continues our takeover of @ncstatedesign this week, we’d like to celebrate the people who make Design Camp what it is…
47 kind, creative, and hardworking team members who show up every single day with heart. There have been countless moments of leadership, collaboration, and thoughtfulness.
Thank you all for making this summer unforgettable. We couldn’t do it without you! 💛
We still have more camp ahead, but this team deserves all the love.
(Did you work with us this summer? Then yes, that is our dearest team member Rumpus at the end.)

🎥 From the studio to the screen to the virtual world.
The College of Design is embracing the future of filmmaking through virtual production, blending architecture, animation and immersive storytelling. This behind-the-scenes look at our collaboration with industry pros shows how design education is evolving to meet the moment.

“Homelessness is a massive issue with many layers. But the female experience is often overlooked, especially around menopause, pregnancy and menstruation.”
For Jabria Oliver, design isn’t just about making — it’s about meaning. As a recent Master of Industrial Design graduate, Jabria is channeling her creative practice into a critical, often ignored public health crisis: period poverty.
Through extensive research, interviews and prototyping, she’s exploring how design can offer more humane, accessible solutions for menstruating people who are unhoused, while also challenging the systems and assumptions that perpetuate inequity.
Jabria’s work reminds us that design is about people first, and that dignity is non-negotiable.
Read her full story in the Spring 2025 issue of Designlife Magazine in our bio.
Summer is when we remember that this is the whole point.
