About Christopher D.

SODA is An educational studio, not for profit, our mission is to revolutionise pre and post-creative education by bridging the gap between undergraduate students and industry needs. Through our innovative initiative, we hope to provide a platform that allows students to "earn as you learn" by offering internships instead of traditional alternatives. We believe in the power of real-world experiences and student-focused learning, enabling students to develop practical skills and industry insights in a learning space that mimics the professional studio environment, all whilst earning an equitable share. By forging strong partnerships with industry professionals and organisations, we aim to create valuable opportunities that empower students to thrive in their creative careers and make a meaningful impact in their chosen fields of expertise.SODA has a particular interest in design efficacy, coaching, mentorship, and co-design methodology. With the aim to pass on our combined industry experience and knowledge, to promote creative skills for all designers of the future, supporting their rise through an increasingly important and highly competitive social and environmental industry.We have a vision of launching a community-inclusive not-for-profit design school, bricks and mortar and online. Looking at the positive effect of creative learning and thinking may have on neural pathways and the potential mental health benefits, the benefits of socialisation and community engagement.I am a huge advocate of creativity and would dearly love to engage the Linkedin community in my ultimate dream of establishing Australia as a new global creative hub. I believe far too many of our best creatives are forced to look toward other creative centres or simply decide to pursue other career directions. DSRUPT is a collaboration of international Creative Directors - Media - IOT - CX/UX/UI - Advertising - Marketing - Publishing - Experimental Digital Installation - Mentor Programs. Academic Research, Training and Coaching. Our mission is to support clients and projects, we feel have the capacity to inform and facilitate change,
