Work History

Queens College | 2022

I taught Advertising Design for the Spring and Design III for the fall. It was important for me to understand what my student’s goal in pursuing a creative/design career was so that they could walk away with relevant knowledge and portfolio work. In the course students honed their research, ideation, problem solving skills and learning how to sell their work.
