Today's guest is Meena Khalili. She is a professor, and designer at her practice called Curiosity HQ out of Columbia SC. 

During Part One of this episode we talk about:

-her first few gigs in design and how they didn't go as planned.

-her first "big girl" design job and what that was. 

-how her first teaching gig came about and what that meant to her. 

-the "Olympics of Art" that she attended in 2017 and the influence that had on her. 

-the project that turned into a book that she was a part of. 

-the print project where she was able to surprise and delight..

That and so much more. Meena is such a great person and is super kind.  You can hear her excitement for design and the community around it. @meenakhalili @
