« Learning by Teaching - Jon Kolko »

In Chapter 17 of 17 in his 2011 Capture Your Flag interview with host Erik Michielsen, designer and educator Jon Kolko shares why he teaches. He finds teaching an incredible learning process. Kolko does not see teaching as purely altruistic; rather, he finds balance between making a contribution and selfishly learning from his students.

Previously, he worked at frog design and was a professor of Interactive and Industrial Design at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD). He has authored multiple books on design.
