How do we use narratives as teaching tools in a design studio to cultivate design agency
in non-designers?

“You know, I couldn’t help but think that, she was so young and early in her career, inexperienced, really. A student still. And yet she still had
the courage to believe in her design. I wonder if I could do that.”

We introduced an HCI/d pedagogical approach to be applied in a studio-based course.
This approach employs narratives as a means to convey content-independent concepts. These stories gather in a conceptual space we call the narrative cloud, and they serve to engage students into self-reflection.

This self- reflection motivates achievement of two student goals:
1.Consciousness
2.Empowerment

They strengthen and refine their sense of agency by composing their own life narratives. In the end, the students are the story.The graduate students of the HCI/d studio after their participation
