Since 2024, I've been teaching Design, Communication, and Craftsmanship at CUNY City Tech's Communication Design Department once a week. In Spring 2026, "Digital Media Foundations" looks a little different, as the design landscape has shifted. Instead of fighting the AI wave, we’re surfing it. My updated syllabus focuses on:

🧑🏻‍🏫 Deep-diving into process (presentations, reflections, writing, etc. because the "how" we communicate via digital media matters more than ever).
🧭 Clear AI Protocols -- No AI Permitted, AI-Collaborative, and Full AI Integration-- to help students navigate ethics and collaboration.
🧠 Drafting with AI to practice the art of critique.

Guest Speaker Alert! 🎤 I’m looking for industry voices to join us this semester. If you want to talk design/career journeys with the next generation of designers, please reach out via the Contact page. You will come speak once on a Thursday morning before Spring 2026 semester ends. Nominations welcome, too :)
