Professor Holman holds a BA from the University of California Santa Cruz and an MFA from the Cranbrook Academy of Art. In her teaching and professional practice Holman explores scales of manufacturing, using emerging technologies to make small-batch production and distribution feasible for independent designers and small companies. Her courses engage the design and production process as the product itself. She works alongside her students to find form through sketching, playing, tinkering, critique, prototyping and testing.
