About

As a Designer Advocate, 50% of my job is to work with educators and students to incorporate Figma Design into the classroom as a virtual space for collaboration. The other 50% is spent working cross functionally collaborating with brand and product, working on product marketing campaigns including launches, events, livestreams, customer feedback, and social media content. I was previously a Professor of New Media Design and Visual Communications at RIT where I taught interaction design courses. My main focus in teaching was on UX and UI design, product research, motion graphics, and digital illustration. I am always looking to connect with Design Educators interested in incorporating Figma into their classrooms.
