Hey folks, a little about me, I’ve been in the education field for approximately a decade now. I always find it crazy just how quickly time flies. Originally, I was doing a lot of graphic design work, which is what my undergrad degree is in. As I continued down this path, it just didn’t exactly feel right for me. Traditional graphic design work entails a lot of marketing, UI design, print design etc. All of this was a great experience, but it wasn’t for me. Having to essentially use my skills to help sell products or promote things wasn’t my calling. I felt my work had no meaningful impact other than generating profit. Through a bit of networking and some luck, I was able to use my skills over a few years within accessibility throughout CUNY. Using my graphic design skills to have an impact on those areas that needed a little more love, that was the spark that interested me. Eventually, as I continued to work my way around CUNY, working with both faculty and students, I stumbled across the worldful world of instructional design. Here I can focus all the essentially random skillsets I’ve acquired over the years and, behind the scenes help make education a little better for our students.

As for my role within our project, I will be the one assisting in putting together our visual design. Helping to figure out how we may best get our message across visually. My current goal is to try to present our project as simply and clear as possible. Then, should time permit, maybe we can try to push the boundary a bit and put a little bit of chaos for fun.
