Hector Silva — Co-Founder

I have over ten years of teaching experience at acclaimed industrial design programs, including at the University of Illinois at Chicago, University of Notre Dame, Rochester Institute of Technology, Academy of Art University and The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. My dedication to design education was recognized when I was named Young Educator of the Year by the Industrial Designers Society of America (IDSA). I also work as an industrial design consultant, running my own studio, H Design. My passion for promoting design education led me to establish Advanced Design, a nonprofit organization. This initiative earned me the Special Achievement Award from IDSA.More recently, I have launched Offsite, an innovative online design school. Offsite is my experimental venture to bridge the gap between academia and industry, aiming to revamp the traditional methods of design education.If you're interested in disrupting design education, creating amazing objects, feel free to get in touch.
