Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford


  • About Us

    The d.school helps people develop their creative abilities. It’s a place, a community, and a mindset.

    We build on methods from across the field of design to create learning experiences that help people unlock their creative potential and apply it to the world.

    Design can be applied to all kinds of problems. But, just like humans, problems are often messy and complex—and need to be tackled with some serious creative thinking. That’s where our approach comes in. Adding the d.school's tools and methods to a person's skill set often results in a striking transformation. Newfound creative confidence changes how people think about themselves and their ability to have impact in the world.
