We are excited to continue to utilize the expertise of Dr. Michael C Ralph, lead researcher at Multistudio, who has assisted our design team in pushing our investigative approach to design. Dr. Ralph recently earned his Ph.D. in Educational Psychology from The University of Kansas.

Interested in the confluence of research, data, and design, Michael utilizes his experience as a PreK-12 and higher education instructor to link research to practice and design issues in classrooms. Michael is published in numerous scholarly journals and writes for popular education outlets, like his recent work for Edutopia – George Lucas Educational Foundation with a piece titled “How to Cultivate a Sense of Belong in Schools.”

Michael’s accomplishment marks a pivotal juncture for Multistudio as we explore what it means to design sustainably, holistically, and thoughtfully. Stay tuned for website Discover pieces from Michael as he continues collaborating across our various studios in 2023.
