As Chairperson of the Graduate Communications Design department at Pratt, I have conceived and directed several initiatives, serving as both client and art director.
1) The department website is a robust social media site
for students, faculty and the public. It includes a calendar
of events, the student blog “kerning point”, an LMS for courses, and user editable profiles–including facebook
and twitter feeds. Students and faculty can post work
on the site as well. The website was coded and designed
by Q Design.

During the summers of 2012/3, I selected and advised an interdisciplinary team of students from Pratt to participate in a sponsored studio with Hennessy (makers of cognac) as part of the Never Stop Never Settle advertising campaign. Students were invited to create work inspired by the theme "chasing our wild rabbit" ... that often uncontrollable inner drive to push the limits of our potential, achieving our sense of purpose in life.
The students worked with the artist Futura in 2012, and with Brazilian artists Otavio Pandolfo and Gustavo Pandolfo—“Os Gêmeos”, in 2013.
