I want students to recognize that what they already pay attention to can become the basis of a long lasting creative practice. Then, there’s figuring out how to actually make the work and get it out into the world. My classes bring together publishing, research, and design. We look at how design changes the way people understand what they’re seeing, and how that work gets circulated.

Design and the Future of Publishing

Core 1: Interaction

Publishing Projects

Publishing in Public, was a class that doubled as an experimental publication, with guest conversations about sustaining a publishing practice informing dispatches I shared weekly on Instagram and LinkedIn throughout the semester. (Spring 2026)

Invisible Nightlife Review, a collaborative anthology between Dirt and The New School featuring student writing about imagined nightlife, inspired by Italo Calvino’s Invisible Cities. I co-developed the project with Daisy Alioto and designed and built its website, which is only open between midnight and 6 a.m.—unless you find a way in. Featuring writing from 8 students across The New School, for some it was their first byline. (Spring 2025)

AIGA NY Essay Contest (2024–2026). While serving on the AIGA NY Board for three years, I developed an outlet for student design writing. I developed the calls for submissions, commissioned and edited student essays, making room for writing alongside the design work celebrated at the annual Fresh Grad onstage event and printed program.
The 2026 winning essay, A Practice Without Deliverables by Hyning Gan, was cross-published on the Adobe Design blog, bringing the student writing to an audience beyond the event. Image above designed by Emily Yao.

“What Did the 2010s Look Like?” an anthology and workshop about the near-recent past. Taught at Parsons. (January 2020)
