Parsons The New School for Design
EDIT AND REFINE TEXR HERE:CN>SKCNCCC
Pedagogically, I am developing a style through research and writing, collaborating and co-creating with my peers, students and with classroom experience; pushing for high learning outcomes balanced with inspiration and enjoyable experiences.
For many of my classes, I have used project based learning methods, using cases to expand on concepts to ground the theory in practical terms. I often use a studio structure and the collaborative experience, grouping students in teams to challenge them and foster co-creation; applying the design process and creative process into most subject matter whether it has been Marketing, Portfolio or Studio.

Industry Perspectives & Field Experts
I also feel outside or industry perspectives are invaluable to students, so I engage my network of colleagues for each class. I do this to not only promote the program and our students as a potential future crop but also invite them to attend student presentations and give lectures. Many of these talks are captured on video to post for students and faculty to access.

Field Trips
Getting out of the classroom can help students apply concepts and see them in action. It breaks up the routine and can help the creative process.
