Hancock is owner of Margaret Hancock Studio and former director of public programs at the Virginia Center for Architecture. She holds a BA in art history from Duke University and a MEd from the University of Virginia.

Through the review of design concepts and completed works of art, this presentation explores the fundamentals of design.

By delving into design, participants gain a sense of design literacy and discover how to think like designers.
