Designing with Gen Z & Gen Alpha in mind

Tuesday, August 12, 2025 • Duration 31:42

We’re joined by the brilliant Denise Cruz, Student Experience Specialist at Yugo - and a rising voice in the PBSA sector. We first met Denise at last year’s Class Conference and were immediately drawn to her passion and perspective on what students really need.

In this episode, we dig into:

The evolving needs of Gen Z and Gen Alpha
How to design with empathy and intention
Why student voices should always shape student spaces

Denise’s insights are inspiring, actionable, and totally aligned with our student-first approach to interior design. We left the conversation buzzing with ideas - and we think you will too.
