TEACHING
I have many years of teaching experience as an Associate Professor at St. John’s University, where I have developed and taught various courses in Communication Design.
Keeping abreast of modern industry standards is critical for my design career and equally important in my teaching practice.
In my classes, I strive to create the most relevant and up-to-date learning environment. To this end, I developed a comprehensive Fundamentals of Graphic Design course and a Publication Graphics curriculum, which introduce students to contemporary digital design approaches for interactive and multimedia content.
