About Garreth Heidt

Designerly Minded High School Humanities and Liberal Studies Teacher Speech and Debate Coach. Constantly learning, trying to be more a maker and less a consumer of culture. I believe in the infinite value of a liberal education and the power of design thinking to help make the world a better place.
