Designer and educator Cas Holman challenges us to create without fear of failure, explore new ways of thinking and problem solving, and work together toward revolutionary innovation. It all starts with play.

Founder of the independent toy company Heroes Will Rise and former Professor of Industrial Design at RISD, Cas travels the globe speaking about early education, the design process, and the value of play in all phases and aspects of life.

Cas has shared her perspective in workshops, seminars, and consultations with the teams at Google, Nike, LEGO Foundation, and Disney Imagineering, and she has worked with architects, CEOs, and university faculty on projects related and seemingly unrelated to design. She helps individuals and organizations shape their projects, enrich team dynamics, and energize or reimagine their processes.

From the award-winning Rigamajig building kits and Geemo toys to exhibit and play space designs, Cas's work can be found in museums, classrooms, and public spaces around the world and in the permanent collections at the New York MoMA and the V&A Museum London.
