Wendy Puffer and Amanda Drury | The Forum on Youth Ministry

Today, host Dr. David Wright, is joined by Social Designer, Interior Designer and IWU Professor Wendy Puffer. Wendy believes that “design can change peoples’ lives”. You will hear about Wendy’s background, inspiring projects she has worked on, and what she is doing now through the Marion Design Co. Dr. Wright and Wendy discuss how design can create conversations with people who may not have ever met. You will also hear what Wendy has learned about herself and how her faith has impacted her work. The conversation begins with Dr. Wright asking Wendy what it means to be a Social Designer. She says, “So when you think about design, we are all designers in some manner. You design your day very strategically...When I think about Social Design, we interact together naturally whether it’s intentional or not. And so Social Design is geared toward helping people interact in a way that enhances their life- that helps them feel more true to who they are...” Wendy has discovered that through Social Design, she has discovered a love for connecting people. Wendy was born in Seoul, Korea, which is known for its good design. She was raised in an American home with five other siblings. She describes being raised in a very creative home. Wendy had known for a long time that she wanted to be an Interior Designer. She explains getting involved with Campus Crusade for Christ and being on staff with them for ten years. Dr. Wright asks Wendy about different places where she has seen impactful design work. She talks about transforming spaces that truly change how the people interact in them. This is something she has experienced in homes and businesses. She expresses what it is like to help empower others through design. You will hear about Marion Design Co. and how Wendy and her team are impacting the community through design. She shares the value of getting to know others in the city. Because of the smaller size of Marion, Wendy says you see immediate results. She says, “We continue to do the work and hope that others learn from it. And it’s just fun! It’s fun when you don’t really know exactly what’s next. And I feel like my faith has grown because of that.”   Learn more about Practicing the Art of Faithful Presence Learn more about host David Wright Learn more about IWU Learn more about Wendy Puffer Learn more about Cru Learn more about Marion Design Co Learn more about the SEAD Indiana Conference
