Ep. 10: Robert Creighton on Experience Design, Education, & Meaningful Interaction

In this episode of Questions for Designers (Q4D), Max Beach speaks with Robert Creighton about designing interactive experiences across museums, public spaces, and educational environments. Robert reflects on the thread connecting his work, from creating engaging learning environments to designing experiences that balance information, emotion, and behavior. The conversation explores how designers measure success in these spaces, and the responsibility that comes with shaping public understanding through design. They also discuss his role as an educator, helping students move beyond surface-level thinking, and how design can have greater impact when grounded in purpose and clarity. *note During the conversation, Robert referenced the Ferguson unrest as occurring in 2016. The unrest took place in the summer of 2014. Additionally, Latasha Harlins was the name of the young woman murdered prior to the Los Angeles unrest.
