Thomas Arnett is working to transform industrial-style schooling as a senior research fellow at the Clayton Christensen Institute. He started his career as a teacher in Kansas City, where he experienced firsthand the frustration of working within a one-size-fits-all approach to education that neglects students’ widely-varying academic and emotional needs. He then joined the Christensen Institute after seeing how Clayton Christensen’s work offered not only a new vision for K–12 education but a comprehensive theory for bringing that vision mainstream. Over the last decade, Arnett’s work has expanded on Christensen’s insights by identifying the enabling conditions to disrupt conventional education and the circumstances that motivate education stakeholders to choose new models of schooling.

Hey there, I'm Paula!!! A passionate architect and urbanist originally from Colombia. I've had the chance to live in some amazing places like Madrid, Siena, Rotterdam, and now Oslo. My professional journey? It's all about diving into the cool intersection of urban planning and well-being. I'm on a mission to figure out why we do what we do and how design can make our cities not just functional, but awesome for us and our planet. Always up for learning and keen to contribute to a future where cities are people-friendly and sustainable. I believe design isn't just about making things look good—it's about making life better.
