I teach Design II with a focus on implementing design principles and elements on a 3D composition. I also teach Lettering and Poster Design where I teach students how to take the fundamentals of design and apply it to posters, covers for albums, and other projects.

In my role as an instructor, my responsibilities extend beyond the classroom to encompass a holistic approach to student development. I consistently provide students with constructive feedback, unwavering support, and valuable advice, serving as a guiding hand to help them effectively navigate challenges and make well-informed decisions. Through the implementation of problem-solving exercises that emphasize the intricate interplay between environments, objects, and communication methods, I foster critical thinking and creativity in my students, equipping them with the skills to adapt and innovate. This summer specifically, students worked with an AR application called Zapworks and superimposed images into the real world.

In my role as a design lab instructor, I had the opportunity to offer students a condensed yet impactful 4-hour Crash Course into Design Thinking. I meticulously designed and facilitated activities and lessons aimed at helping students grasp the intricacies of designing for specific target groups. This experience allowed me to guide them through the creative process, fostering their ability to empathize with end-users, brainstorm innovative solutions, and iteratively refine their designs. As a program assistant, I was dedicated to empowering students with the practical skills and mindset required to approach design challenges with creativity, empathy, and strategic thinking.
