    REVIEWERS
    Dave Dimond, FAIA, CID, LEED AP (He/Him).  
    Director of Design, JLG Architects, Integrative Design Leader.

    “For me, Design Thinking is a social tool for empathically sharing the limited space and resources of our planet. Through design we journey together, engage, question, learn, and transform. Together, we make space that empowers individual agency toward solving our most challenging collective action issues: social, economic and environmental justice. A radical hope unites us to design a future worth sharing and cultivates our will to share it.” 

    Nina Ebbighausen, AIA, LEED AP (She/Her)
    Adjunct Associate Professor. Senior Associate, Alliiance. Dancer


    Nina Ebbighausen has been practicing architecture at Alliiance and teaching design at the University of Minnesota School of Architecture since the beginning of 1999. Nina is particularly passionate about public and civic work (such as libraries, schools, and churches), because of its potential to reach board segments of the population through design. Most recently, her work has engaged aspects of urban design and digital fabrication as well, including her award-winning Xcel Energy Hiawatha West and Midtown Substation Enclosures and her Horn sculpture at the main entrance of the new Viking's Stadium in Minneapolis. When she is not practicing or teaching architecture, Nina often performs dance at venues in the Twin Cities.

    Matt Finn (He/Him)
    Adjunct Assistant Professor. Senior Architect, LHB 

    As Senior Architect at LHB, Matt has years of experience in housing projects including affordable and supportive housing - from the largest public-private housing partnership in Minnesota history, to single-family and duplex renovations in places as disparate as the core of St. Paul to regional cities, suburbs, and urban neighborhoods.  He also has 11 years of experience teaching drawing and design at the University of Minnesota. 

    Malini Srivastava, AIA, DDes (She/Her)
    Associate Professor, Architecture. Director of the Master of Science in Architecture, Research Practices Program (MSPR), Associate Dean for Research, Creative Scholarship, and Engagement. 


    Her work spans research, teaching, and practice in urban-scale pervasive play frameworks, high-performance architecture, responsive building skins and other interventions to address energy use in the built environment. To support her practice, she maintains certification as a Passive House Consultant. She is the Project Lead of efargo, a University-City-Utility partnership aimed at reducing city-wide energy use. Under her direction, the partnership developed pervasive energy games as a fundamental intervention method to impact large-scale energy use in buildings. The efargo project resulted in the City of Fargo winning the national Georgetown University Energy Prize in 2017.
