The nature of the Detroit Travel Studio produced a method of idiosyncratic and site-responsive creative practice. It was an exciting way to work, taking pressure off finished outcomes and presentation and focusing on the ideas that could be generated in a short amount of time. The Studio prompted a broader query of what right designers have to tell other people what they need. The work resulted in a series of explorations that didn’t attempt to 'fix' the problems Detroit faces; instead, it connected to the people and explored the city itself through playful and engaged design approaches.
