Designing for the Future: Teaching at Parsons School of Design

At Parsons, I’ve taught Core 1: Interaction and Critical Thinking and Making: The Visual Archive in the A.A.S. Communication Design program, with a focus on user-centered design, critical thinking, and design fundamentals. I recently redesigned the Professional Practice & Portfolio curriculum to help career changers succeed in today’s AI-first hiring market—equipping students with modern tools, strategic storytelling skills, and a portfolio that reflects their unique strengths and future-ready mindset.
